How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card while the device is powered as supported by the host equipment. Connect singlemode fiber patch cables using the appropriate connector type for the module interface. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and ensure fiber polarity and connector cleanliness for reliable operation. When removing the module, follow the host equipment vendor’s hot-swap procedure to avoid link interruptions.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use singlemode fiber rated for 100G deployments, keep connectors clean and inspect fiber end-faces before making connections. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and firmware, and use appropriate transceiver monitoring and management tools to track link status and temperature.
