Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE14816AA-BO QSFP28 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 3HE14816AA-BO QSFP28 100000 Mbit/s fiber optic transceiver module provides a compact, industry-standard solution for high-speed optical links. Designed in a QSFP28 form factor and finished in silver, the module supports aggregated 100 Gbit/s operation and is compatible with hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 transceivers. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,000,000 hours and a lightweight construction of 0.11 kg, this module is intended for stable, long-term deployment in data center and carrier environments where reliable 100G connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module delivers high-performance 100G data transfer in a compact QSFP28 package while maintaining backward compatibility with 25G interfaces through appropriate breakout configurations. Its standardized QSFP28 interface ensures interoperability with equipment that follows MSA specifications. Low weight and a robust MTBF rating support dense installations and continuous operation without frequent replacements.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf switching
• High-throughput uplinks between switches and routers
• Interconnects in storage networks and SAN fabrics
• Carrier and enterprise backbone links requiring 100G capacity

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot on a switch, router, or other network device following the vendor's hot-swap and ESD handling procedures. When using breakout cables or QSFP28-to-SFP28 adapters, ensure the host platform supports 100G-to-4x25G or 100G-to-25G configurations as required. Connect appropriate multimode fiber cables to the transceiver ports and verify link status and negotiated speeds via the equipment management interface. Perform any necessary firmware or compatibility checks recommended by the network equipment manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber and connectors that match the transceiver's optical characteristics and follow data center cable management best practices. Verify compatibility lists for Alcatel / Nokia or other hardware vendors when deploying this QSFP28 module in mixed-vendor environments to ensure full interoperability.
