Network transceiver module BlueOptics QSFP-100G-PSM4-SM1310-BO QSFP28 100000 Mbit/s PSM4 single-mode 1310 nm

BlueOptics QSFP-100G-PSM4-SM1310-BO is a QSFP28 network transceiver module engineered for 100 Gbit/s aggregation over single-mode fiber. The module implements PSM4 transmission at a wavelength of 1310 nm and supports four parallel optical lanes to provide high-density 100G links suitable for data center spine-and-leaf architectures and carrier-grade long-reach connections. Its hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor enables easy installation in compatible switches and routers, while maintaining signal integrity for multi-lane 100G applications.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact QSFP28 footprint that consolidates four optical channels into a single 100G interface, enabling space-efficient port density. PSM4 single-mode operation at 1310 nm delivers long-reach capability with low attenuation over single-mode fiber, which is suitable for inter-rack and inter-site links. The module's hot-pluggable design allows replacement or upgrades without powering down equipment, and compliance with standard QSFP28 electrical and optical interfaces ensures interoperability with compatible networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-to-leaf connections
• Carrier and metro long-reach optical links
• High-density switch and router port aggregation
• Inter-rack and inter-site 100G fiber connections

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on the switch or router until it seats firmly; no external tools are required. Connect single-mode fiber patch cables with appropriate MPO/MTP connectors matching the module's parallel lane configuration. Verify link status through the host device management interface and monitor optical parameters such as lane loss and receive power to ensure correct operation. For hot-swapping, allow the host device to complete any interface shutdown or reconfiguration procedures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and MPO/MTP cabling designed for parallel optics, ensure end-face cleanliness before making connections, and follow your network equipment vendor's guidelines for link training and firmware compatibility to maintain reliable 100G performance.
