Network transceiver module BlueOptics TOM-100G-Q-SR4-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics TOM-100G-Q-SR4-BO is a 100GBASE-SR4 fiber optic QSFP28 transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s over a QSFP28 interface and is housed in an aluminum casing with a lightweight 40 g design. The module uses an MPO/MTP multi-fiber connection and operates with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths appropriate for multimode optic transmission up to typical short-reach distances.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver follows MSA-compliant electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure interoperability with compatible network hardware. It includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time reporting of operating parameters such as supply voltage, optical power and temperature when supported by host equipment. The unit’s aluminum enclosure and selected high-quality components aim to provide dependable performance and long operational lifetime in data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (short reach)
• High-density switch and router uplinks using QSFP28 ports
• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centers
• Applications requiring DDM/DOM monitoring support for remote diagnostics

How to use

Install the BlueOptics TOM-100G-Q-SR4-BO into a compatible QSFP28 slot on switches, routers or other network devices that support 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 transceivers. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cord between transceivers or to patch panels, ensuring correct orientation and polarity. Verify that the host device firmware and software recognize the transceiver and enable DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Confirm link parameters and signal integrity with appropriate diagnostic tools after installation.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal short-reach 100G performance and maintain clean connector end-faces to avoid signal degradation. Ensure host device compatibility with 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 modules and enable digital diagnostics in the host for proactive monitoring of optical link health.
