Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 60172-BO 25000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics 60172-BO QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module provides a compact, metal-housed solution for high-speed optical links. Designed for data transfer rates up to 25000 Mbit/s and weighing approximately 20 g, this transceiver follows QSFP28 interface conventions and is intended for deployment in data centers and high-performance networking equipment. The module’s silver metal enclosure contributes to durability while the specified mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours indicates a design focus on long-term availability.

Advantages

The module combines a standardized QSFP28 interface with a small, lightweight metal housing to offer reliable optical connectivity while minimizing mechanical stress on host ports. A rated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a compact 20 g form factor make this transceiver suitable where continuous operation and space-efficient pluggable optics are required. The silver finish supports easy visual identification in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and server interconnects
• High-performance switching and routing equipment
• Optical links requiring 25 Gbit/s class throughput
• Environments where durable metal housings are preferred

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 60172-BO into a compatible QSFP28 port on switching, routing, or server equipment following the host device’s hot-plug instructions. Ensure the transceiver is fully seated and that mating fiber connectors and patch cords match the intended single-mode or multimode link type supported by the network design. Verify link status via the host device and, if supported, use the host management interface to confirm operational parameters.

Recommendations

Confirm that your network hardware supports QSFP28 modules and the intended 25 Gbit/s optics. Use appropriate fiber patch cords and LC/other compatible connectors as required by your network design. Store and handle the transceiver using standard ESD precautions and keep protective caps on connectors when not in use to maintain optical performance.
