Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 980-9I17L-00E000-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics 980-9I17L-00E000-BO QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver supports 100000 Mbit/s (100 Gbps) multimode optical links using the 100GBASE-SR4 specification with MPO/MTP connectivity. Designed in a QSFP28 form factor and finished in silver, the module provides simultaneous transmit and receive functions at 850 nm, supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472, and is intended for use in hardware platforms that accept compatible 100G QSFP28 optics.

Advantages

The transceiver provides high port density and a compact QSFP28 form factor for 100 Gbps connections while remaining compatible with MPO/MTP fiber harnesses. Integrated digital diagnostics allow remote monitoring of voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power for simplified troubleshooting. Components are selected to meet MSA interoperability and to deliver extended operational life with a high MTBF, making the module suitable for continuous operation in data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch links in data center aggregation and spine-leaf architectures
• Server uplinks and top-of-rack connectivity requiring 100 Gbps multimode links
• Storage area networks and SAN fabrics with short-reach optical requirements
• High-performance computing interconnects and network appliances that accept QSFP28 MPO/MTP optics

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port following the host device vendor's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber assembly with the correct polarity and fiber type (MMF) to the transceiver. Ensure the host system recognizes the module and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the management interface to monitor optical parameters. Observe standard ESD precautions during handling and do not force the module into the slot.

Recommendations

For reliable short-reach 100G multimode links, use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber with MPO/MTP connectors and keep fiber runs within the recommended distance for 100GBASE-SR4. Verify compatibility with the target switch, router or server vendor and ensure firmware or driver requirements are met. Monitor DDM/DOM values to detect signal degradation and schedule physical inspections or cleaning of MPO/MTP connectors if performance indicators decline.
