Fiber Optic QSFP28 Transceiver CBO AFCT-89WEDZ 100G

CBO AFCT-89WEDZ 100G is a fiber optic QSFP28 transceiver designed to support 100 gigabit per second data rates for high-speed network connections. The module uses the compact QSFP28 form factor and is intended for installation in 100G-capable switches, routers and optical line cards. It is suitable for short- and medium-reach fiber links within data centers, enterprise backbones and telecom aggregation layers where reliable 100G fiber connectivity and density-optimized ports are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP28 interface that enables hot-pluggable, high-density 100G ports while maintaining low power consumption for its class. Its compact design simplifies upgrades from 10/25/40G to 100G without major infrastructure changes. The module offers compatibility with common 100G link management and monitoring functions, supporting stable optical performance and predictable latency for critical network paths.

Suitable for

• 100G uplinks and spine links in data center fabrics
• High-capacity aggregation in enterprise core networks
• Telecom metro and regional fiber links requiring 100G throughput
• Fiber upgrades from lower-rate modules to 100G-capable platforms

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28)
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbps
• Optical medium: single-mode or multi-mode fiber compatibility depending on system configuration
• Interface: quad-lane 25 Gbps electrical lanes aggregated to 100 Gbps
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service replacement and upgrades
• Typical power consumption: optimized for low power in dense deployments (manufacturer typical range)

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible 100G port on a switch or router until it clicks into place, ensuring the host equipment supports QSFP28 modules and the chosen optical fiber type. Connect appropriate fiber patch cables to the module's optical interface and secure the cable routing to avoid stress on the connector. Verify link status and optical parameters using the host device or network management system and observe any module status indicators provided by the switch or router.

Recommendations

Validate compatibility with the target switch or router before installation, confirm fiber type and connector type match the transceiver’s supported configuration, and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. Monitor optical power and link diagnostics after deployment to ensure expected performance.
