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

The BlueOptics QSFP28-BIDI-100G-SR2-ME-BO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic transceiver module with a QSFP28 interface and LC duplex connector. Designed for multimode fiber, it supports short-range 100GBASE-SR2 links up to 100 m and weighs approximately 40 g. The module implements bidirectional (BiDi) operation with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths to enable two-way optical communication over a single fiber per direction, and includes digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time status information.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver follows MSA standards and is engineered for compatibility with systems that support the original Mellanox QSFP28-BIDI-100G-SR2-ME module. Built with industry-grade optical components and integrated circuits, it provides stable 100 Gbps performance over multimode fiber while maintaining a compact, lightweight form factor. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) delivers supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature monitoring to assist with remote maintenance and troubleshooting.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 port on the switch, router or other network device following the vendor's hot-swap and handling guidelines to avoid electrostatic damage. Connect LC duplex patch cords to the module and route the multimode fiber to the corresponding remote transceiver. Verify link status and performance via the host device management interface and, if available, read real-time parameters through the DDM/DOM function to confirm proper optical levels and temperature. Ensure the host platform supports 100GBASE-SR2 BiDi modules and any required firmware or compatibility settings before commissioning.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use multimode LC patch cords and patch panels rated for 100GBASE-SR2, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify that connected hardware supports BiDi QSFP28 modules and DDM/DOM functionality. Follow manufacturer guidance for electrostatic discharge protection and operate the module within recommended temperature and power limits.
