Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics Q8J73A-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q8J73A-BO QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver is a compact 100 Gbit/s module designed for high-speed single-mode optical links. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 40 g, this QSFP28 transceiver uses an MPO/MTP connector and supports 100GBASE-PSM4 transmission over single-mode fiber. The module implements CWDM-based transmit and receive channels and is compliant with MSA form-factor and signaling conventions suitable for use in compatible networking hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a 100000 Mbit/s data rate in a QSFP28 form factor, enabling dense, high-throughput connectivity in data center and carrier environments. Metal housing and tested component selection contribute to mechanical stability and extended operational life. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support is available for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and temperature when the host hardware supports these functions.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP28 slot on supported networking equipment following the vendor’s hot‑plug procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP single-mode patch cord to the transceiver and route the fiber to the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status in the host system and, if available, enable and read DDM/DOM parameters for monitoring optical performance. Ensure that the receiving end is configured for 100GBASE-PSM4 operation and that both ends use compatible MPO/MTP polarity and fiber type.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain proper fiber cleanliness to achieve optimal performance. Confirm host device compatibility with QSFP28 100GBASE-PSM4 modules and enable digital diagnostic monitoring only if supported by the hardware. For extended link reliability, follow manufacturer-recommended installation and handling guidelines and consider testing the link with a sample module prior to large-scale deployment.
