Transceiver CBO AFBR-89CEDZ QSFP28 100G fiber optic module

The Transceiver CBO AFBR-89CEDZ QSFP28 100G fiber optic module is a compact QSFP28 form-factor transceiver designed to deliver 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for short- to mid-reach optical links. Built for data center, aggregation and high-performance computing environments, this module supports high-speed data transmission while enabling network operators to upgrade existing infrastructure to 100G capacity without major changes to rack or switch ports.

Advantages

This QSFP28 100G transceiver provides high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet in a small form factor, reducing space requirements in optical line cards and switch ports. The module is engineered to provide stable optical performance for short- and mid-reach links, with industry-standard electrical and optical interfaces for broad compatibility. It simplifies migration to 100G networks by fitting QSFP28 cages and cages-compatible ports while supporting hot-pluggable installation and low power consumption relative to older 100G solutions.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-leaf fabric connections
• Core and aggregation switches in campus and enterprise networks
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Short- to mid-reach fiber links between racks or equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (four-lane 25 Gbps electrical interface)
• Data rate: 100 Gbps Ethernet
• Reach: suitable for short- to mid-reach multimode or single-mode applications depending on optics variant
• Interface type: optical duplex/multi-fiber QSFP28 connector family compatible
• Hot-pluggable design for easy insertion and removal
• Typical power consumption: optimized for low-power 100G operation (consult vendor documentation for exact values)

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on your switch or transceiver cage by aligning the module with the slot and sliding it in until it locks. Connect appropriate fiber patch cords or breakout cables compatible with the module optics and the target equipment. Verify link status and configuration through the host device management interface and ensure transceiver and port settings (speed, lanes, and optical parameters) match network requirements. For safe removal, use the module latch or release mechanism and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use factory-quality fiber patch cords and keep connectors clean to maintain optical performance. Confirm compatibility with your switch or router model and verify supported link distances for your cabling type. Follow ESD handling precautions and vendor-recommended temperature and humidity ranges during installation and operation.
