QSFP28 transceiver BlueOptics BO28L13602DS 100G FR1

BlueOptics BO28L13602DS is a QSFP28 100G FR1 optical transceiver designed for high-speed single-mode fiber links. The module implements the QSFP form factor and supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances typically required in metropolitan and inter-data-center connections. Built for compatibility with industry-standard QSFP28 ports, it provides a single compact solution for reliable 100G uplinks and high-bandwidth interconnects in data center, carrier and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The BO28L13602DS transceiver offers high-density 100G connectivity in a QSFP28 package, allowing four-channel, high-bandwidth data transport within a compact module. It is intended for single-mode fiber and optimized for longer reach FR1 links, combining stable optical performance with low power consumption. The module adheres to common QSFP electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure interoperability with standard networking equipment supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet.

Suitable for

• 100G uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• Metropolitan area and regional fiber links requiring FR1 reach
• Carrier-class and enterprise backbone interconnects
• High-capacity aggregation and inter-rack connections

Key specifications

• Optical interface: QSFP28 form factor for 100G operation
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Supported protocol: 100 Gigabit Ethernet
• Typical reach class: FR1 (optimized for longer metropolitan/regional distances)
• Connector type: industry-standard fiber optic connector (LC duplex or MPO depending on variant)
• Host interface: four-lane electrical interface aggregated to 100G
• Power consumption: low-power design suitable for high-density installations

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or optical transport device following the equipment manufacturer's hot‑swap procedure if supported. Ensure the transceiver is matched to single-mode fiber cabling and appropriate connectors. After insertion, verify link status and interface configuration on the host device; set speed and duplex as required by the network. Monitor optical receive/transmit indicators and use built-in diagnostic interfaces if available to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the module with clean, properly installed single-mode fiber and compatible connectors to minimize insertion loss. Match the transceiver to equipment that supports QSFP28 100G interfaces and confirm fiber link budget for FR1 distances. Observe ESD precautions and handle the device by its housing; keep protective dust caps on unused ports until connection.
