Network transceiver module BlueOptics QSFP-DD-200G-SR8-CS-BO, fiber optic QSFP-DD, 200 Gbit/s, 100 m, metal housing

BlueOptics QSFP-DD-200G-SR8-CS-BO is a fiber optic network transceiver module with a QSFP-DD interface that supports an aggregate data rate of up to 200 Gbit/s for short-reach links. Housed in a compact metal silver enclosure, the module is designed for links up to 100 m over multimode fiber and fits 40 g form-factor sockets that accept QSFP-DD optics. It operates from a 3.3 V input and provides multi-lane 200 G connectivity suitable for dense network environments such as data center topologies and high-capacity switch uplinks.

Advantages

The transceiver offers high-density 200 G transmission in a QSFP-DD compliant package, allowing efficient use of switch and router ports while minimizing rack space. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and heat dissipation for reliable operation in demanding rack-mounted environments. Short-reach design reduces power and cost for intra-rack and adjacent-rack links, and compatibility with standard QSFP-DD interfaces simplifies deployment and replacement.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf interconnects
• High-bandwidth switch uplinks and router connections
• Intra-rack and adjacent-rack 200 G links up to 100 m
• Environments requiring compact, metal-housed QSFP-DD optics

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 200 Gbit/s (aggregate)
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 100 m over multimode fiber
• Interface: QSFP-DD multi-lane fiber optic connector
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V input
• Form factor and weight: compact QSFP-DD form factor, approximately 40 g
• Housing: metal silver enclosure for mechanical durability and thermal management

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP-DD-200G-SR8-CS-BO into a compatible QSFP-DD slot on a switch, router or transceiver cage, ensuring the host port supports 200 G operation and QSFP-DD optical modules. Connect multimode fiber patch cords to the module following the port orientation and polarity requirements of the host equipment. Verify link status and data rate via the host device management interface and monitor temperature and optical diagnostics where supported. When removing the module, follow hot-swap procedures of the target device and handle the fiber connector endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

Use this module for short-reach multimode links within racks and between adjacent racks, and pair it with compatible multimode fiber (OM3/OM4/OM5 as supported by your system) and QSFP-DD-capable ports. Perform regular inspection and cleaning of fiber endfaces, observe the host device’s cooling requirements, and confirm firmware and transceiver compatibility lists for optimal performance.
