QSFP28 transceiver BlueOptics BO28L13910D 100GBASE-PSM4 10 km

The BlueOptics BO28L13910D QSFP28 transceiver is a hot-pluggable optical module that supports 100GBASE-PSM4 links over single-mode fiber for distances up to 10 km. Packaged in a QSFP28 form factor, the module provides four parallel 25 Gbps lanes and is designed for high-density data center and telecom environments where long-reach 100 G connections are required for aggregation and backbone links.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver offers high-density 100 G connectivity with low system footprint and hot-pluggable convenience for easy deployment and replacement. It is compatible with standard 100G equipment and supports four parallel optical lanes to simplify cabling and reduce port count. The single-mode, long-reach capability to 10 km makes it suitable for inter-rack, campus and metro links where reliable optical performance and link stability are important.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf interconnects
• Telecom backbone and metro links requiring 100 G long reach
• High-density switch and router ports with QSFP28 support
• Environments needing hot-swappable optical upgrades or replacements

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (4 × 25 Gbps lanes)
• Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregate
• Physical medium: single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 10 km over single-mode fiber
• Link type: 100GBASE-PSM4 (parallel single-mode)
• Optical interface: parallel single-mode transmit and receive

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on switches or routers while the host device is powered on; ensure the module is fully seated until it latches. Connect MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cables to the module's optical interface following the correct lane mapping. Verify link status in the host device management interface and monitor signal integrity and error counters after installation. For safe removal, follow the host device procedure for module removal and pull the transceiver straight out of the port.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cables and maintain proper fiber cleanliness to ensure optimal optical performance. Match the transceiver link settings to the host device configuration and verify compatibility with the switch or router vendor’s supported transceivers. For long-term reliability, avoid excessive mechanical stress on cables and observe manufacturer operating temperature ranges and ESD handling procedures.
