QSFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-ER4-PC-BO 100G LC

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-ER4-PC-BO is a 100G fiber optic transceiver module with an LC duplex interface, designed for single-mode fiber links and long-distance transmission. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and a reach of up to 40,000 m while remaining compact and lightweight at approximately 0.04 kg. The module follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 form factor conventions and is intended for installation in compatible switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP28 100GBASE-ER4 optics.

Advantages

The transceiver provides high-speed 100G connectivity over long distances using CWDM-enabled transmitter and receiver channels. Its LC duplex connector and single-mode fiber operation make it suitable for paired transmit/receive optical links. Designed to meet common MSA standards, the module is compatible with hardware that supports 100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 optics and supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of key operating parameters. Lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation in data center or enterprise equipment racks.

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on your switch, router or storage system, ensuring the host device supports 100GBASE-ER4 optics and the DDM/DOM functions if monitoring is required. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module’s LC interface, observing proper polarity for transmit and receive fibers. After insertion and connection, verify link status in the host device and check diagnostic parameters such as optical power and temperature via the device management interface or the transceiver's DDM functions.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC patch cords and appropriate patch panels to achieve specified reach and signal quality. Verify compatibility with the target hardware vendor and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if your platform supports it to aid monitoring and troubleshooting. Keep the transceiver dust caps on when not in use and follow ESD handling precautions during installation.
