QSFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-ER4-AR-BO 200000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-ER4-AR-BO is a high-performance fiber optic transceiver designed for long-reach 100G Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 200000 Mbit/s and a maximum transmission distance up to 10,000 m. The module uses a QSFP56-compatible connector, operates at 3.3 V and is packaged in a durable metal housing with a compact, lightweight form factor (approximately 40 g), suitable for integration into high-density networking equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver provides stable high-speed connectivity for long-distance fibre links while maintaining low power operation at 3.3 V. The metal casing offers mechanical protection and improved heat dissipation. Its QSFP56-style interfacing and compact silver housing enable easy installation in modern switches, routers and optical transport platforms where space and reliability are important.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28/QSFP56 slot on a switch, router or optical transport device according to the host vendor's hot‑swap and handling instructions. Ensure the device is powered and that the fibre cabling uses appropriate single-mode fibre and proper cleaning procedures for connectors. After insertion, verify link status and configure the host port for 100G operation if required by the equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fibre certified for long-reach applications and verify end-to-end attenuation to remain within the module's optical budget. Keep connectors clean, handle the metal housing with antistatic precautions, and consult the network equipment vendor for any required compatibility lists or firmware settings before deployment.
