Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 407-BBWQ-BO QSFP28 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 407-BBWQ-BO QSFP28 100000 Mbit/s fiber optic transceiver is designed for high-density, short-reach 100G optical links using multimode fiber and an MPO/MTP connection. The module supports simultaneous transmit and receive at an operating wavelength of 850 nm and conforms to a compact QSFP28 form factor in a silver housing. With a lightweight design (approx. 40 g) it is suitable for integration into switches, routers and other common network platforms that accept QSFP28 transceivers.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver provides a 100 Gbit/s data transfer rate using 850 nm VCSEL-based optics and MPO/MTP connectivity according to MSA guidelines, enabling interoperability with compatible hardware. The module includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time readout of operating voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive optical power and temperature when supported by the host device. Components are selected to meet industry reliability expectations, supporting long service life and high mean time between failures for continuous operation in data center environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G data center interconnects over multimode fiber
• High-density switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links using MPO/MTP cabling
• Storage area network uplinks and aggregation ports
• Network hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 transceivers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on the host device following the manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect the MPO/MTP multimode patch cable to the module and ensure correct fiber polarity and ribbon alignment for SR4 links. If the host device supports DDM/DOM, monitor optical parameters through the management interface to verify link health and performance. Perform link validation after insertion and use standard network diagnostic tools to confirm expected throughput and error rates.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 fiber and MPO/MTP trunk cables specified for 100GBASE-SR4 to achieve the intended short-reach performance. Verify host compatibility and, if required, enable DDM/DOM support in the device to access real-time diagnostics. Observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and store modules with protective caps when not in use to avoid contamination of fiber interfaces.
