Network transceiver module BlueOptics BO28L856S1D-BO 100 Mbit/s QSFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics BO28L856S1D-BO is a compact network transceiver module engineered for fiber-optic connectivity in data communication systems. Designed with a QSFP28 interface and an LC fiber optic connector, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s. With a lightweight 40 g housing in grey, the module integrates into network equipment where a QSFP28 port and multimode fiber optics are required. The product is intended for use in applications that demand reliable short-distance optical links and compatibility with QSFP28 form-factor ports.

Advantages

The BlueOptics BO28L856S1D-BO provides a standard QSFP28 interface for straightforward insertion into compatible switch or transceiver cages, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with QSFP28 ports. Its LC connector enables connection to widely used multimode fiber cabling, and the compact, lightweight design reduces physical load on networking equipment. The module's specified 100 Mbit/s transfer rate makes it suitable for specific legacy or low-bandwidth links where QSFP28 form factor compatibility is required.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in data centers and telecom closets
• Replacing or expanding QSFP28 port connectivity with LC-terminated fibers
• Applications requiring compact, lightweight transceiver modules
• Environments where a 100 Mbit/s optical link is sufficient

How to use

Before installation, verify that the host device supports QSFP28 transceiver modules and that the intended link operates at the specified wavelength and data rate. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the host equipment vendor, then insert the module into the QSFP28 slot until it seats securely. Connect LC-terminated multimode fiber cables to the module's LC connector, ensuring proper polarity and clean connector endfaces. After insertion, confirm link status through the host device management interface and perform validation tests at 100 Mbit/s.

Usage recommendations

Handle the BlueOptics module by its edges, avoid touching the optical connector faces, and keep dust caps on until ready to connect. Use appropriate ESD protection during handling and ensure fiber connectors are cleaned with suitable tools before mating. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and optics policy to ensure proper operation at 100 Mbit/s over 850 nm multimode fiber.
