CBO transceiver AFCT-89LMDZ QSFP28 100G optische module

The CBO Transceiver AFCT-89LMDZ QSFP28 100G optical module is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links in datacenter and enterprise networks. It fits QSFP28 ports and implements multi-lane 100G connectivity suitable for short- to medium-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers. The module supports standard QSFP28 electrical and mechanical interfaces to enable straightforward integration with compatible network equipment and simplifies replacement by supporting hot-swap operation.

Advantages

The module delivers high-density 100G capacity in a compact QSFP28 form factor, enabling efficient use of switch and server front panels. Its hot-pluggable design reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Built for multi-lane transmission, the transceiver ensures reliable aggregation and uplink performance while maintaining compatibility with common QSFP28 ports and cabling infrastructures.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• Switch-to-switch stacking and spine-leaf fabric links
• Hot-swap replacements and field upgrades without shutting down equipment

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbps (multi-lane)
• Interface type: Optical transceiver for multi-lane 100G Ethernet
• Compatibility: Designed for use with QSFP28 100G ports on switches, routers and servers
• Installation: Hot-pluggable for quick replacement

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on the network device until it seats securely. Connect the appropriate optical cable or breakout assembly according to the device’s supported cabling options. Verify link status and speed on the host device management interface. For replacement, remove the module using the port’s release mechanism and insert a new transceiver while the host supports hot-swap operation. Follow device vendor guidance for any required configuration or firmware compatibility checks.

Recommendations

Ensure the host equipment supports QSFP28 100G modules and verify transceiver compatibility with the switch or router vendor. Use clean optical connectors and follow standard fibre handling practices to maintain link quality. For uptime-critical environments, keep spare transceivers available for hot-swap replacement and follow the network change management procedures when performing upgrades.
