Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AOM-100GBE-SR4-FT-BO QSFP28 100m

The BlueOptics AOM-100GBE-SR4-FT-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range 100GBASE-SR4 links over multimode fiber. Housed in aluminium and weighing 40 grams, this module supports MPO/MTP connectivity and is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 SR4 modules. It transmits and receives at 850 nm and is intended for reliable high-speed data transfer up to 100 metres in data centre and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 SR4 form factor and MPO/MTP interface standards to ensure interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage platforms. Its aluminium housing provides a lightweight and durable enclosure suitable for dense rack deployments. Built to support 100G Ethernet and related high-speed protocols, the transceiver is designed to offer stable optical transmission over multimode cabling while supporting digital diagnostics for easier monitoring and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• 100GBASE-SR4 short-reach interconnects within data centres
• High-density switch-to-switch, switch-to-router, and switch-to-chassis links
• Storage area network uplinks and aggregation links
• Multimode fiber patch panel and trunk connections up to 100 m

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28 (MPO/MTP)
• Supported standard: 100GBASE-SR4 (multimode)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (TX/RX)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 metres on appropriate multimode fiber
• Housing: aluminium
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF standards

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port following the host hardware manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode patch cord of appropriate fibre type and length to the transceiver. Verify link status and, when available, read digital diagnostic parameters (voltage, temperature, transmit/receive power, laser bias current) from the host to confirm proper operation. Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal 100GBASE-SR4 performance up to 100 m and employ MPO/MTP patch cords and adapters rated for 100G applications. Confirm host compatibility for third-party QSFP28 SR4 modules and enable DDM/DOM support in the system firmware to utilize real-time diagnostics. Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment and inspect or clean connector endfaces before insertion.
