100G QSFP28-transceiver BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-ESR4-BO 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-ESR4-BO is a compact fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links. It uses a QSFP28 form factor and MPO/MTP fiber connectors to deliver a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s over multimode fiber. With a lightweight silver housing and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the module is intended for rack and data center environments where space, weight and reliability are important factors.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver provides high-speed connectivity in a small footprint, supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with MPO/MTP connectors for dense fiber cabling. The module’s compact silver metal enclosure and low weight simplify hot-swap installation in switches, routers and media converters. A rated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicates long operational life and reduced replacement frequency, while the specified maximum transfer distance of 100 m makes it suitable for short-reach links within data centers.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects in data centers
• High-density switch-to-switch or switch-to-server uplinks
• Fiber patch-panel and media-conversion applications requiring MPO/MTP connectors

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot on your switch, router or media converter following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and ESD handling procedures. Connect MPO/MTP fiber assemblies to the transceiver, ensuring correct polarity and appropriate multimode fiber type for the specified reach. After insertion, verify link status and data rate on the host device and confirm that the transceiver is recognized and operating at 100 Gb/s.

Recommendations

Use multimode MPO/MTP trunk cables rated for 100 Gigabit operation and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal quality. Ensure host firmware and optical port settings support the QSFP28 module. For distances up to 100 m, follow recommended cable bend radii and avoid mechanical stress on connectors to preserve performance and MTBF.
