Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics 407-BCEX-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics 407-BCEX-BO QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver is a high-speed module designed for 100000 Mbit/s data transmission over multimode fiber. Housed in a durable metal casing and weighing 40 g, the module uses a QSFP28 interface and supports simultaneous send and receive optical signals. The transceiver implements 100GBASE-SR4 type transmission with MPO/MTP connectivity and includes digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of key parameters. MTBF is rated at 1,000,000 hours, making the module suitable for demanding networking environments that require reliable optical links.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP28 interface that ensures electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability with MSA-compliant systems. With short-range 100GBASE-SR4 operation and MPO/MTP connectorization it supports dense, high-bandwidth links in data centers and enterprise networks. Built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for simplified maintenance. The metal housing and use of quality optical and electronic components support an extended service life and high availability.

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into the appropriate QSFP28 port on compatible networking equipment following the switch or router manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cord to the transceiver and route the other end to the corresponding MPO/MTP port or patch panel. Verify link parameters and DDM/DOM readings through the host device management interface to confirm correct operation. Ensure firmware and hardware compatibility with the host platform before deployment.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and MPO/MTP patch cords to achieve the specified short-reach performance. Confirm that the host device supports DDM/DOM to access monitoring data. Avoid exposure to excessive dust or mechanical stress during insertion and handling, and follow ESD precautions when installing the module.
