Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics Q28-100G-SWDM4-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-100G-SWDM4-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver engineered for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links. Designed for use in compatible network equipment, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and enables short-reach optical connectivity over multimode fiber using LC connectors. The compact, silver QSFP28 form factor and 40 g weight make the transceiver easy to handle and install into standard QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This transceiver delivers 100 Gb/s bandwidth in a single QSFP28 module, enabling high-density port aggregation and trunking. Its SWDM4-compatible optical design allows multi-wavelength transmission over existing multimode fiber, reducing the need for immediate cabling upgrades. The LC fiber connectors provide reliable optical mating, and the lightweight silver housing simplifies physical installation and replacement in racks and switches.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on the switch or network device until it seats firmly. Connect LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cables to the module’s LC connectors, observing correct polarity. Verify link status on the host device and configure the interface for 100 Gigabit Ethernet if required by the equipment. For removal, disengage any retention latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver with compatible network equipment that supports QSFP28 SWDM4 optics and LC multimode cabling. Ensure fiber cleanliness before mating connectors, follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling, and confirm port configuration and firmware compatibility on the host device to achieve optimal 100 Gb/s performance.
