Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE12229AA-BO QSFP28 10000 m

The BlueOptics 3HE12229AA-BO QSFP28 10000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 100G high-speed optical links over single-mode fibre. The module supports 100GBASE-LR4-class transmission up to 10 kilometres using LC duplex connections, and it is built with an aluminium housing that combines lightweight construction (approx. 40 g) with mechanical durability suitable for data centre and carrier environments. The module implements QSFP28 interface signalling and adheres to MSA form-factor expectations for broad hardware compatibility.

Advantages

This transceiver provides long-reach 100 Gbit/s optical connectivity with low electromagnetic susceptibility through single-mode optical transmission. The QSFP28 interface and LC duplex connector enable integration with systems that accept LR4-class modules. The aluminium housing and a compact 40 g form factor make the module easy to handle and install while providing physical robustness. The design includes support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) to report optical and electrical parameters for remote status checks and fault isolation when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 100G links in data centres and campus backbones
• High-performance computing interconnects and server farms
• Carrier and service provider metro/aggregation links up to 10 km
• Upgrades or replacements in switches, routers and storage systems that accept 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28
• Transmission standard: 100GBASE-LR4 equivalent
• Maximum link distance: up to 10,000 m (single-mode fibre, depending on fibre and connector quality)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Optical topology: Tx and Rx with CWDM lanes for LR4 operation
• Support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when enabled by host system

How to use

Install the QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 slot following the host system manufacturer’s hot‑plug and electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fibre patch cords between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct orientation and clean connector endfaces. Configure the host system interface for 100G operation as required and verify link status via the host management interface. If DDM/DOM is supported by the host, monitor reported parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and module temperature for ongoing diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fibre and high-quality LC connectors or patch panels to achieve the specified 10 km reach. Clean ferrules before mating and use dust caps when the module is not connected. Confirm host platform compatibility with LR4 QSFP28 modules and enable DDM/DOM in the host software if remote diagnostics are required. Follow ESD precautions during installation and handle the module by its housing to avoid contact with optical interfaces.
