QSFP 100G transceiver CBO JQP-04SWAA1 850nm multimode

The BlueOptics QSFP 100G transceiver CBO JQP-04SWAA1 850nm multimode is a compact optical module designed for short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It fits the QSFP form factor used in modern switches and servers, enabling high-density port deployments and switch-to-switch uplinks in data center environments. The module operates at 850 nm and provides plug-and-play installation for fast integration into existing networking equipment that supports QSFP interfaces.

Advantages

This QSFP 100G transceiver offers a high-density, low-profile solution for 100 GbE multimode connections, reducing cabling complexity and rack space usage. The 850 nm wavelength is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber, delivering reliable transmission across typical data center distances. The module’s standardized QSFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches and routers that accept QSFP optics, and its hot-pluggable design simplifies upgrades and maintenance without major downtime.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch uplinks
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row aggregation
• High-density server connections requiring 100 GbE
• Short-reach multimode fiber runs within buildings or campus networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 100 Gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Reach: Short-reach links typical for multimode environments
• Interface: Hot-pluggable QSFP connector
• Application: Short-distance data center and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on your switch or server while the equipment is powered on (hot-pluggable). Ensure the network device supports 100 GbE QSFP modules and that firmware or driver settings allow third-party optics if necessary. Connect multimode fiber patch cords with appropriate MPO/MTP or breakout cable assemblies as required. Verify link status through the host device’s management interface and monitor error counters to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber and maintain clean connectors and proper polarity. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and follow manufacturer guidance for thermal and environmental operating ranges. Regularly inspect fiber endfaces and use certified patch cords to minimize insertion loss and connection issues.
