Network transceiver module BlueOptics AFCT-89SDDZ-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28 1310 nm

The BlueOptics AFCT-89SDDZ-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode networks. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this module implements the 100GBASE-DR profile with LC duplex connectors and PAM4 modulation. It is built to be compatible with Avago platforms and industry MSA standards, offering digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) and a compact metallic design weighing approximately 40 g. The module’s MTBF is specified at 1,000,000 hours for reliable long-term operation.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AFCT-89SDDZ-BO provides 100 Gbit/s optical throughput over single-mode fiber up to 500 meters when used with appropriate patching and compliant hardware. Compliance with QSFP28 MSA ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that support the original Avago AFCT-89SDDZ module. The transceiver includes digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature, facilitating remote troubleshooting and maintenance. Components from established manufacturers and standardized production contribute to extended operational life and industrial compliance.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFCT-89SDDZ-BO into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or other network device that supports Avago AFCT-89SDDZ compatible modules. Use LC duplex single-mode patch cords to connect to the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring proper fiber polarity. Verify that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if you intend to monitor diagnostics; enable or configure the diagnostic interface according to the device vendor documentation. Power and link up are automatic once the module is seated and the remote connection is established.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-mode LC patch cords and maintain clean fiber endfaces to achieve specified reach and signal quality. Confirm host compatibility with Avago AFCT-89SDDZ compatible QSFP28 modules before deployment and enable digital diagnostics on supported platforms to simplify monitoring and maintenance.
