Network transceiver module BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4-BO QSFP28 10000 m

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-LR4-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-distance 100G data transmission over single-mode fiber. It uses an LC duplex connector and an aluminum housing, combining a compact form factor and low weight (0.04 kg) for installation in compatible QSFP28 ports. The module supports a maximum transfer distance of 10000 m and follows common MSA QSFP28 interface conventions to ensure physical interoperability with devices that accept QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4 transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides high-bandwidth 100G connectivity in a small QSFP28 form factor and is intended for long-reach links using single-mode fiber and LC duplex connections. Its aluminum housing offers mechanical protection and thermal conduction in rack and chassis environments, while the lightweight design facilitates handling and installation. The transceiver implements transmitter and receiver channels suitable for CWDM-based 100GBASE-LR4 signaling over up to 10 km.

Suitable for

• 100G uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and campus backbone links up to 10 km
• High-speed links for storage systems, load balancers and network appliances with QSFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-LR4 application)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum link length: 10000 m (10 km)
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port until it latches securely and connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module's ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceivers and that any required software or firmware settings allow the module to operate. After insertion, verify link status and, if available, monitor optical parameters through the host system's diagnostics interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and quality patch panels to achieve the specified 10 km reach. Confirm host compatibility with QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4 modules and enable digital diagnostic monitoring in the host system if remote optical parameter readings are needed. Handle the transceiver by its edges and keep protective caps on connectors when not in use to avoid contamination.
