How to use

Install the transceiver into a vacant QSFP28 port on a compatible switch, router, or network interface card. Ensure the module is inserted until it seats securely and the port indicates link status. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable between transceiver ports or to an optical distribution frame, observing proper fiber handling and polarity. Monitor link and optical parameters via the host device management interface to verify correct operation.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver using ESD precautions and keep protective caps on fiber ports when not in use. Match the transceiver to compatible QSFP28 ports and select fiber type and cable length appropriate for the intended link budget. Refer to the host equipment documentation for supported transceiver compatibility lists and software configuration steps prior to deployment.
