Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 980-9I78I-00A000-BO 100 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics 980-9I78I-00A000-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module with a QSFP28 interface designed for data transmission at 100 Mbit/s. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 0.11 kg, the module is intended for network systems that require a compact, metal-bodied QSFP28 transceiver for optical links. It supports both transmit and receive optical functions over multimode and single‑mode fiber and is compatible with standard QSFP28 MSA interfaces.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP28 form factor that facilitates integration into compatible network switches, routers and storage systems. Its aluminium construction offers mechanical durability and heat dissipation for stable operation. Built to MSA interoperability guidelines, the module supports optical signal conversion and monitoring features common to modern transceivers, enabling reliable optical communication in mixed network environments.

Suitable for

• Integration into QSFP28-compatible switches, routers and storage systems
• Short- and medium-range optical links over multimode or single-mode fiber
• High-availability network segments requiring compact optical transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Housing material and colour: aluminium / aluminium-coloured
• Weight: 0.11 kg
• Supports simultaneous optical transmit and receive functions

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port following the host device manufacturer’s hot‑plug guidelines. Connect appropriate multimode or single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s optical interfaces, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and negotiation on the host device; if supported, enable or check digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature. Follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module.

Recommendations

Use certified fiber patch cords and ensure the host equipment officially supports third‑party QSFP28 modules. Maintain clean fiber endfaces and use dust caps when transceivers are not connected to prevent signal loss. Confirm DDM/DOM support in the host device before relying on diagnostic telemetry.
