QSFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-PSM4-BO 100G 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-PSM4-BO is a 100G QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-density network deployments requiring up to 100000 Mbit/s data rates. The module uses a QSFP28 form factor with an MPO/MTP connector and is intended for single‑mode fiber links using 100GBASE‑PSM4 transmission. Housed in a compact metal casing and powered by a 3.3 V input, the transceiver weighs approximately 2 g and is compatible with hardware platforms that support 100GBASE‑PSM4 QSFP28 devices.

Advantages

The transceiver supports up to 100 Gbit/s optical throughput and follows MSA standards for QSFP28 modules, providing interoperability with compliant switches, routers and storage systems. It integrates CWDM-enabled transmitter and receiver lanes to carry optical signals over single‑mode fiber and includes support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to report supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature in real time. The metal housing offers mechanical robustness while the low weight and compact QSFP28 form factor enable high port density installations.

Suitable for

• High‑speed data center interconnects and aggregation links
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-router 100G uplinks
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 100 Gbit/s
• Short‑reach single‑mode links up to approximately 2 km with MPO/MTP cabling

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or optical device that supports 100GBASE‑PSM4 modules. Connect an MPO/MTP single‑mode fiber patch cable to the module and ensure the far‑end device is configured for matching 100GBASE‑PSM4 operation. Verify link status and, if available, read diagnostic values via the host device to confirm proper power levels and temperature. Observe standard ESD precautions and handle the module by its edges to avoid contamination of the optical interfaces.

Usage recommendations

To achieve optimal performance, use high‑quality MPO/MTP single‑mode patch cords and compatible patch panels. Ensure the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if you require remote diagnostics. Keep connectors clean and perform insertion loss checks where necessary; avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii and follow vendor guidelines for hot‑swap procedures.
