Network transceiver module BlueOptics AFCT-89WAEDZ-BC-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics AFCT-89WAEDZ-BC-BO QSFP28 network transceiver module is a 100000 Mbit/s single‑mode fiber optic transceiver designed for high‑speed data links up to 10 km. Housed in a metallic casing, the module provides electrical and mechanical compatibility with QSFP28 MSA interfaces and operates at 3.3 V. It supports LC-Duplex connections and 100GBASE-LR4 transmission using 4x WDM channels, and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time status of voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power.

Advantages

The module combines a compact QSFP28 form factor with a metal housing for mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation. It is engineered to meet CE, FCC and RoHS standards and is built from selected optical and electronic components to achieve a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 1,000,000 hours. Integrated DDM/DOM simplifies remote monitoring and troubleshooting of optical links.

Suitable for

• 100G Ethernet links between switches and routers across campus and data center backbones
• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber connections up to 10 km
• High‑performance storage area networks and aggregation uplinks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on switches, routers or other network devices that support 100GBASE-LR4 modules. Connect an LC‑Duplex single‑mode patch cable between transceivers at each end of the link and verify link status through the host device. If available, enable and read DDM/DOM metrics from the host to monitor supply voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power for real‑time diagnostics. Ensure the device firmware or driver recognizes third‑party transceivers when required by the hardware vendor.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC‑Duplex fiber patch cords and, where possible, certified fiber patch panels to maintain optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with your hardware platform and enable DDM/DOM monitoring to help prevent service interruptions. Observe manufacturer temperature and handling guidelines during installation and operation.
