Optical Transceiver BlueOptics QSFP28 MMS1C00-C500 100G 500m

BlueOptics QSFP28 MMS1C00-C500 100G 500m is a 100 Gigabit optical transceiver module engineered for short-reach fiber links up to 500 meters. The QSFP28 form factor provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface compatible with 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports in switches, routers and other active networking equipment. This module is intended for data center and enterprise network environments where reliable high-throughput connectivity and easy installation are required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers high-density 100G connectivity in a standardized QSFP28 package, supporting multi-lane operation and simplified cabling for aggregated links. It supports hot-plug installation to minimize service interruptions and is designed to meet common optical and electrical interface requirements for interoperability with compatible network devices. The module's short-reach capability up to 500 meters on suitable multimode fiber enables flexible topology planning within racks and between adjacent rooms.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data center switches and spine-leaf architectures
• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections over multimode fiber up to 500 m
• High-bandwidth aggregation links in enterprise network cores

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Maximum reach: up to 500 meters on appropriate multimode fiber
• Interface: 4-lane optical serialization compatible with 100GBASE standards for short reach
• Connector type: MPO/MTP multi-fiber connector (multi-channel)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible 100G port on a switch or router until it seats securely and the retention mechanism engages. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber cable of appropriate grade that supports the specified 500 m reach. Verify link status and interface parameters through the host device management interface; the module is designed for immediate recognition by compliant equipment. Follow equipment vendor guidance for safe hot-plug procedures and electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the module.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber with matching modal bandwidth and an MPO/MTP connector compliant with industry standards to achieve the stated 500 m reach. Check compatibility lists from the network equipment manufacturer and ensure firmware or interface settings align with 100G multi-lane operation. Store the transceiver in an anti-static bag and protect connector end faces from contamination when not in use.
