QSFP28 Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP28-BIDI-100G-SR2-BO Fiber Optic LC

The BlueOptics QSFP28-BIDI-100G-SR2-BO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic transceiver module with a QSFP28 form factor and LC duplex connector. Designed for multimode fiber links, it supports data rates up to 100 Gbps over short-range links and is specified for links up to 100 m. The module is compact and lightweight (0.04 kg) and follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with a wide range of network equipment supporting 100GBASE-SR2.

Advantages

The module provides bidirectional optical transmission using separate wavelengths for transmit and receive channels, enabling duplex operation over a single multimode fiber pair. It implements digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time access to supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and operating temperature. Manufactured to industry MSA guidelines and populated with high-quality optical and electronic components, the transceiver is intended to meet lifecycle and reliability expectations for data center and enterprise deployments.

How to use

Install the QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or other network device following the host vendor’s hot-swap and handling instructions. Connect LC duplex patch cords to the module and route them over multimode fiber to the peer transceiver or patch panel. If the host hardware supports it, enable or query the DDM/DOM registers to monitor optical and electrical parameters. Ensure the port is configured for 100GBASE-SR2 or the appropriate 100G mode supported by your equipment.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber compliant with OM3/OM4 recommendations for reliable 100 m connectivity, maintain proper fiber bend radius, and employ high-quality LC patch cords and patch panels. Verify compatibility with the target hardware firmware and enable DDM/DOM support where available to assist with diagnostics and capacity planning.
