QSFP28 transceiver module BlueOptics 02311KNU-BO 10000m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 02311KNU-BO QSFP28 transceiver module is designed for high-speed optical data transmission over single-mode fiber. The module follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor and supports distances up to 10,000 meters. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 40 g, this transceiver provides a compact, industry-standard interface for 100G optical links with LC Duplex connectivity and QSFP28 electrical interface.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver offers a standardized, hot-pluggable 100G QSFP28 interface in an aluminium housing that supports long-reach single-mode connections. Built and tested for compatibility with major hardware that accepts equivalent 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules, it includes digital diagnostics monitoring functionality for real-time operational data. The module’s lightweight metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness and heat dissipation while keeping the unit compact and service-friendly.

Suitable for

• 100G long-reach uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and campus backbone links up to 10 km
• High-speed storage and aggregation links requiring QSFP28 connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28 (electrical form factor)
• Optical connector: LC Duplex
• Supported transmission medium: single-mode fiber
• Maximum transmission distance: 10,000 meters (10 km)
• Housing material and color: aluminium (silver)
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Supported nominal data rate: 100 G (100GBASE-LR4 equivalent)
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support for real-time monitoring

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on supported networking equipment while following the host vendor’s hot-plug and handling instructions. Connect LC Duplex single-mode fiber patch cords between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the switch or router management interface and, if available, read digital diagnostic values to confirm optical power, temperature and supply voltage are within expected ranges. Follow ESD precautions and avoid touching optical ferrules or lenses.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach 100G links, use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC Duplex patch cords, ensure firmware or driver compatibility with the host equipment, and confirm DDM/DOM support in the system to enable remote monitoring. Observe recommended cleaning procedures for connectors and avoid excessive bending of fiber to maintain optimal performance.
