Nvidia 980-9I042-00C000 network transceiver module Fiber optic 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The Nvidia 980-9I042-00C000 network transceiver module is a fiber optic QSFP28 interface designed to deliver 100000 Mbit/s data transfer for modern networking environments. Engineered for high-density data center deployments and demanding network architectures, the module supports multi-lane 100 Gb/s links over fiber and integrates with compatible QSFP28 ports to provide stable, low-latency connectivity for servers, switches and storage arrays.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver offers a compact form factor and hot-pluggable operation for easy maintenance and fast replacement. It provides consistent 100 Gb/s throughput with low power consumption relative to older form factors, and is built to meet industry interoperability standards for fiber optics. The module reduces link errors with robust signal integrity and is suitable for continuous operation in data center conditions.

Suitable for

• 100 GbE uplinks and interconnects in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and server farms
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-router fiber connections
• Storage area networks and backup infrastructure
• Traffic-intensive virtualization and cloud networking

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver
• Data rate: 100000 Mbit/s (100 Gb/s)
• Physical form factor: QSFP28 hot-pluggable module
• Transmission medium: single-mode or multi-mode fiber (depending on system configuration)
• Typical application: 100 Gigabit Ethernet over fiber
• Operating environment: data center-grade thermal and electrical conditions

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or server interface card while the host supports 100 Gb/s operation. Ensure fiber cables and connectors match the transceiver type (single-mode or multi-mode) and that polarity is correct. After insertion the host device should recognize the module; verify link status through the host management interface and configure network settings such as speed, duplex and VLANs as required. For removal, follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor to avoid link disruption.

Usage recommendations

Use factory-tested fiber patch cords with appropriate attenuation specifications, keep transceiver ports covered when not in use, and monitor temperature and optical power levels to maintain reliable 100 Gb/s links. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and supported optics list to ensure proper operation.
