QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-100G-PSM4-S-BO Fiber Optic MPO

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-PSM4-S-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 100G high-speed data transmission over single‑mode fiber. It uses an MPO/MTP connector and comes in an aluminium-coloured metal housing. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 0.04 kg), designed for installation in QSFP28-capable switches, routers and other network devices that support 100GBASE-PSM4 links.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver supports 100GBASE-PSM4 optical links with MPO connectivity, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive streams over single‑mode fiber. The aluminium housing provides physical protection and thermal conduction suited to data center environments. Compatibility with standard QSFP28 interfaces ensures straightforward integration into systems that accept QSFP28 form‑factor modules. The module also supports diagnostic monitoring functions where host hardware exposes DDM/DOM information for real‑time status of voltage, temperature and optical performance.

Suitable for

• 100G backbone links in data centers and colocation facilities
• Interconnects between switches, routers and aggregation devices
• High-throughput storage and compute clusters requiring 100G connectivity
• Short‑reach single‑mode fiber links up to the supported range for PSM4 architecture

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (QSFP Transceiver Module)
• Interface: MPO/MTP connector compatible with PSM4 topology
• Data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-PSM4)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Housing material/color: aluminium metal housing
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-PSM4-S-BO into a QSFP28-compatible port on a switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the host vendor's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an MPO/MTP fiber patch cord to the module and the corresponding port or patch panel making sure fiber polarity and PSM4 lane mapping match the link design. Verify link status and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to confirm optical power, temperature and supply voltage are within expected ranges. Follow the host device's interface configuration steps (for example enabling the 100G interface) to bring the link into service.

Recommendations

Use multimode cleaning procedures for MPO/MTP connectors and verify fiber polarity before powering equipment. Ensure the host hardware explicitly supports QSFP28 100GBASE-PSM4 modules and DDM/DOM access if monitoring is required. For optimal performance, pair the transceiver with single‑mode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain appropriate bend radii and connector cleanliness in the fiber infrastructure.
