QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-100G-BIDI-MM850-BO Fiber Optic

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-BIDI-MM850-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 100G data transmission over multimode fiber. It uses an LC duplex connector and a bidirectional (BiDi) design that transmits and receives on a single fiber per direction, allowing duplex 100G links while reducing cabling. The module is housed in an aluminium case and weighs approximately 40 g, making it suitable for installation in compatible 100G QSFP28 ports used in switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This transceiver supports 100GBASE-SR2 style multimode operation and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 interfaces for wide interoperability. The BiDi design reduces the number of fibers required for duplex links while supporting high throughput and short-reach multimode links. Built from components selected for reliability, the module offers integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for monitoring parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and received power, and temperature to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-BIDI-MM850-BO into any compatible QSFP28 port according to the host hardware instructions and ensure the host platform supports third‑party QSFP28 transceivers. Connect LC duplex patch cords designed for multimode fiber between transceivers or to patch panels, observing proper fiber polarity and cleaning connectors before mating. Verify link status via the host device and use the DDM/DOM interface where supported to monitor optical parameters and confirm correct operation. Follow the equipment vendor’s hot‑plug and handling procedures to avoid electrostatic damage.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 patch cords and appropriate patch panels for best short-reach 100G performance; ensure the host device firmware supports BiDi QSFP28 transceivers and enables DDM/DOM for remote diagnostics. Clean LC connectors before installation and adhere to ESD handling guidelines.
