Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics GUGT84S-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics GUGT84S-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver designed for 100000 Mbit/s (100 Gbit/s) data links over multimode fiber. It uses LC duplex connectors and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor standards. The module supports bidirectional 100GBASE-SR2-Bidi operation with transmit and receive wavelengths in the 832–918 nm range, and it is intended for use in compatible network equipment where high-speed short-reach connections are required. The transceiver is finished in silver, has a weight of approximately 40 g, and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,000,000 hours, offering a durable option for dense data center and enterprise interconnects.

Advantages

The module delivers 100 Gbit/s throughput in a compact QSFP28 form factor, enabling high-density port deployments and reduced cabling complexity. LC duplex fiber connectors provide widely used interface compatibility for multimode fiber links. MSA compatibility ensures interoperability with equipment from multiple vendors that support QSFP28 100GBASE-SR2-Bidi transceivers. The specified MTBF indicates long operational life under normal conditions, and the modest weight contributes to easy handling during installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on networking equipment following the vendor's hot‑swap and insertion procedures. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's LC interfaces, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections. Configure the network device for 100G operation as required by the platform, and verify link negotiation and signal levels through the host equipment management interface. Handle the module with ESD precautions and keep dust caps on unused connectors until ready for connection.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber certified for 100GBASE-SR2 operation and maintain proper fiber cleaning routines. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and optics support list before deployment. For best performance, use short, high-quality LC multimode patch cords and ensure fiber runs do not exceed the specified 100 m maximum distance.
