Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 980-9I53X-00C000-BO 100 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics 980-9I53X-00C000-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module that provides 100 Mbit/s data transfer through a QSFP28 interface. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 40 g, this compact module uses LC duplex connectors and is designed for single-mode fiber links up to 40,000 m. It is intended for network media conversion and reliable optical point-to-point connections where consistent throughput and physical durability are required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a standard QSFP28 form factor with LC connectors, a lightweight aluminium enclosure for thermal stability and mechanical protection, and support for up to 40 km single-mode transmission. The module's fixed 100 Mbit/s rate and long reach make it suitable for stable, low-to-medium bandwidth optical links while keeping compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 modules with LC interfaces.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 40 km
• Network media conversion between copper and fiber infrastructure
• Switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP28 transceivers with LC connectors
• Point-to-point campus or metropolitan connections requiring a compact transceiver

How to use

Install the BlueOptics transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot on your networking device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap or installation procedure. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver ports, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. Configure network settings on the host device to use the fixed 100 Mbit/s link speed if manual configuration is required. Verify link status and optical levels using the host device’s diagnostics or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber cables and follow recommended bend radius and connector cleanliness procedures to ensure optimal performance. Confirm compatibility with your host hardware and enable any available digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) features on supported devices to monitor supply voltage, temperature and optical power where available.
