Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics KNP61-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics KNP61-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for 100000 Mbit/s data transmission. Housed in a metal enclosure and finished in silver, this compact transceiver weighs approximately 0.04 kg and follows CE, RoHS and FCC compliance standards. The module implements a QSFP28 interface and is intended for single-mode fiber links where a high-bandwidth, low-latency optical connection is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP28 form factor for 100G links, enabling integration with equipment that supports QSFP28 modules. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation, while the compact, lightweight design simplifies installation and handling. Compliance with common regulatory standards ensures compatibility with enterprise and data center environments. Built to MSA-aligned specifications, the module supports reliable optical signalling over single-mode fiber.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet interconnects and 100G uplinks in data centers
• Core and aggregation switching links
• Storage area networks and server-to-switch connections
• Longer single-mode fiber runs where QSFP28 interfaces are supported

• Maximum data transfer rate: 100000 Mbit/s
• Housing material: metal
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Product colour: silver
• Fiber type: single-mode (for long-reach optical links)

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot on your switch, router or server according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Use an MPO/MTP-compatible single-mode fiber patch cord or appropriate fiber termination to connect the module to the remote endpoint. Verify that the host device supports 100G links and the QSFP28 module type; enable any required port settings in the device firmware or operating system. Observe ESD precautions, handle the optical connectors carefully, and keep protective dust caps on connectors when not in use.

Recommendations

For stable 100G performance, pair the transceiver with single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and test the optical link after installation. Confirm Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host hardware if real-time optical parameters are required. Maintain clean connector endfaces and follow the host vendor’s guidance on firmware compatibility to ensure reliable operation.
