Fiber Optic QSFP28 Transceiver CBO AFCT-89LMDZ 100G

BlueOptics Fiber Optic QSFP28 Transceiver CBO AFCT-89LMDZ 100G is a compact, hot-pluggable optical module designed to support 100 Gigabit Ethernet and other 100G data services over multimode or single-mode fiber (verify compatibility with your system). The QSFP28 form factor provides four lanes of 25 G each aggregated into a single 100G link, enabling high-density deployment in data centers and core network environments. The module is intended for insertion into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and network interface cards to extend or upgrade fiber links with minimal physical footprint.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standard QSFP28 connector and hot-pluggable operation for quick field replacement without disrupting system operation. Its compact design supports high port density and straightforward integration into racks and chassis. The module is engineered for interoperability with common 100G network equipment and optimized for low power consumption under typical operating conditions. Its optical performance supports stable high-bandwidth transmission suitable for modern data center topologies.

Suitable for

• Upgrading existing network switches and routers to 100G fiber links
• High-density data center spine and leaf interconnects
• Aggregation links between network racks and distribution areas
• Interconnects for storage area networks and high-throughput applications

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregated (4 × 25 G lanes)
• Optical interface: fiber optic transceiver (compatible fiber types depend on specific variant)
• Typical power consumption: optimized for low power operation (check device datasheet for exact values)
• Operating environment: designed for standard data center temperature ranges

How to use

Before installation, verify that the target device supports QSFP28 modules and the required 100G optics. Power down the host device if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, then insert the transceiver into an available QSFP28 port until it seats securely; many systems support hot-plug insertion without shutdown. Connect appropriate fiber cabling and ensure correct polarity and connector type. After connection, confirm link status and configuration in the host device management interface and apply any necessary firmware or port settings for 100G operation.

Recommendations

Use certified fiber cables and clean connectors to maintain optical performance. Match the transceiver’s optical type (single-mode or multimode) to the installed fiber plant and verify maximum link distances and attenuation with the system documentation. Monitor port temperature and link statistics through the network management system to ensure stable operation.
