Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics Q28-100G-BIDI-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-100G-BIDI-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module that delivers 100000 Mbit/s data transfer using a QSFP28 interface. Designed for multimode fiber environments, this QSFP28 BIDI module uses LC Duplex connections to send and receive optical signals over a single fiber strand each, following MSA standards. The module is lightweight (approx. 40 g) and finished in a silver housing to fit into common networking hardware. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation in the 832–918 nm wavelength range and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status reporting when supported by the host system.

Advantages

The module is engineered for compatibility with a wide range of hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 form factors, including switches, routers and storage systems. Components are selected from established suppliers for lasers and integrated circuits to increase reliability and service life. The BIDI design reduces fiber cabling complexity by enabling bidirectional 100G transmission on multimode fiber with LC Duplex connectors. Integrated DDM/DOM simplifies monitoring of voltage, temperature and optical power for remote diagnostics when the host supports these functions.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on your switch, router or other networking device while the device is powered according to the vendor guidelines. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver ports observing correct polarity for bidirectional operation. Verify that the host system recognizes the module and, if required, enable or confirm DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to access diagnostic parameters. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s procedures for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility to ensure correct operation.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode LC Duplex patch cables and matching patch panels to achieve the specified range and performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports QSFP28 BIDI modules and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are needed. Observe manufacturer guidelines for handling optical transceivers, avoid contamination of fiber endfaces, and perform regular inspection and cleaning of connectors to maintain signal integrity.
