BlueOptics QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver SFP-SR-MPO100-BO 100000 Mbit/s 850 nm MTP/MPO 100 m

BlueOptics QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver SFP-SR-MPO100-BO supports 100GBASE-SR4 transmission over multimode fiber with an MTP/MPO connection at 850 nm. Designed for short-reach high-speed links, the module transmits and receives optical signals simultaneously and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature. The transceiver is intended for use in compatible network hardware that supports QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 modules.

Advantages

The transceiver follows MSA standards and is manufactured using high-quality optical lasers and integrated circuits from established suppliers, which contributes to long operational life and high availability. It offers a short-reach 100 Gbit/s connection with MPO/MTP connectivity, DDM/DOM support for remote diagnostics, and an MTBF rating that indicates extended service life.

Suitable for

• 100 Gbit/s short-reach links in data centers
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections over multimode fiber
• Patch panels and fiber trunking using MPO/MTP cabling
• Environments requiring remote optical diagnostics (DDM/DOM)

When it may not be suitable

This QSFP28 SR4 module is intended for multimode short-reach applications and is not suitable for long-distance single-mode fiber links. It requires network equipment that supports QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 modules and, to use diagnostic features, the host hardware must support DDM/DOM according to MSA SFF‑8472.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 100000 Mbit/s (100 Gbit/s)
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Connector type: MTP/MPO
• Maximum reach: 100 m over multimode fiber
• Form factor: QSFP28
• Digital Diagnostics: DDM/DOM (SFF‑8472 compliant)
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• MTBF: approx. 3,000,000 hours
• Color: Silver
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on switches, routers or servers following the host vendor’s installation guidelines. Connect multimode MPO/MTP patch cables between transceivers or to patch panels to establish the optical link. Enable or verify link settings on host equipment for 100GBASE-SR4 operation and, if required, read DDM/DOM parameters via the management interface of the host device to monitor optical power, temperature and supply voltage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm host hardware compatibility with QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 modules
• Ensure the network uses multimode fiber and MPO/MTP cabling for short-reach links
• Verify that DDM/DOM support is available in your equipment if remote diagnostics are needed
• Check required operating temperature range and environmental conditions

Recommendations

For optimal performance use high-quality multimode MPO/MTP patch cables and follow proper fiber handling and cleaning procedures. Verify link parameters after installation and monitor DDM/DOM values to detect degradation early.
