Transceiver CBO AFCT-89LDDZ QSFP28 100G fiber optic module

CBO AFCT-89LDDZ QSFP28 100G fiber optic module is a hot-pluggable transceiver designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links in switches, routers and data center equipment. The module uses the QSFP28 form factor to provide compact high-density connectivity for short- to medium-reach optical networks, enabling low-latency, high-throughput data transmission and straightforward upgrades from 40G or lower speeds to 100G infrastructure.

Advantages

The transceiver supports QSFP28 compatibility and 100G data rates in a single compact module, allowing efficient port density in top-of-rack and spine switches. Hot-pluggable construction reduces maintenance time and simplifies hardware replacement without powering down equipment. The fiber-based link offers electrical isolation and predictable latency useful for data center fabrics and high-performance networking. Designed for use in standard networking slots, the module enables straightforward migration paths to higher bandwidth while keeping footprint and power considerations minimal.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections in switches and routers
• Data center uplinks and spine-to-leaf interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Optical link upgrades from 40G to 100G

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28
• Nominal bitrate: 100 Gbit/s
• Interface type: fiber optic duplex (as applicable to QSFP28 MPO/LC adaptations)
• Plug type: hot-pluggable
• Typical application: 100G Ethernet
• Operating environment: designed for integration into network equipment racks and data center hardware

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 module into a compatible port on the switch or router until it seats firmly. Ensure the host equipment supports 100G QSFP28 transceivers and that firmware or driver compatibility is verified. Connect appropriate fiber patch cables or breakout assemblies to the module’s optical interface following the correct polarity and connector type. Monitor link status through the host device management interface; replace or reseat the module while the system is running if needed, taking standard electrostatic discharge and fiber safety precautions.

Recommendations

Confirm full compatibility with the target switch or router model and check optical budgets for the intended link distance and fiber type. Use appropriate fiber connectors and clean endfaces before mating. Follow manufacturer guidance on ESD handling and operating temperature ranges to ensure reliable operation.
