Network transceiver BlueOptics QSFP28 BO28L13602DS 100G 850nm

BlueOptics QSFP28 BO28L13602DS is a 100G network transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this compact QSFP28 form-factor device supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and is intended for high-density network environments such as data center uplinks and server interconnects. The module is hot-pluggable and compatible with standard QSFP28 ports, providing a space-efficient solution for upgrading or expanding existing multimode fiber infrastructure.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 100G throughput in a QSFP28 package, enabling four-channel parallel optics for high-bandwidth links while maintaining a small physical footprint. Operating at 850 nm makes it suitable for multimode fiber commonly used in short-reach applications. Hot-pluggable design simplifies installation and replacement without powering down systems. The module is engineered for interoperability with standard optical interfaces to support flexible integration into existing network equipment.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf uplinks
• Server to top-of-rack or switch interconnects
• Short-reach multimode fiber links within campus or enterprise LANs
• High-density switch ports requiring compact 100G optics

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host port supports QSFP28 modules and that the connected fiber patch panels and transceivers are specified for multimode operation at 850 nm. With the system powered, insert the module into the QSFP28 slot until it seats securely and the module latch engages. Connect appropriate MPO/MTP or breakout fiber assemblies according to the switch or transceiver interface. Verify link status and configuration in the host device management interface, and monitor optical power and error statistics to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode fiber certified for the required reach and maintain clean fiber endfaces. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and observe manufacturer guidelines for ESD and handling. For optimal signal integrity, match fiber type and connector polarity, and verify link parameters after installation.
