BlueOptics Q28-100G-PSM4-IR-BO netwerk-transceivermodule 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-100G-PSM4-IR-BO network transceiver module is a QSFP28 form-factor fiber optic module designed for 100000 Mbit/s links. Its compact silver housing and 40 g weight make it suitable for dense installation in switches and routers that support QSFP28 ports. The module is engineered for extended service life with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,000,000 hours and complies with RoHS, FCC and CE standards for environmental and electromagnetic requirements.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver supports 100 Gb/s aggregate throughput using a PSM4 optic arrangement, enabling high-capacity uplinks and spine connections in data center and carrier networks. Its standardized QSFP28 interface ensures plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 optical modules. The small form factor and low weight contribute to efficient rack population and reduced mechanical stress on device ports. Certified compliance and a high MTBF provide predictable operational behavior and simplified regulatory acceptance.

Suitable for

• 100 GbE uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• High-capacity interconnects in carrier or campus backbone networks
• Spine-leaf architectures requiring dense QSFP28 ports
• Environments needing standards-compliant optical modules (RoHS, FCC, CE)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or optical transceiver cage while observing the device manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the host port supports 100 Gb/s QSFP28 optical modules and confirm link settings in the network equipment management interface. Connect appropriate single-mode fiber trunks or split PSM4 fibers according to the optical cabling plan, and verify link status and error counters after establishing the physical connection.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by the housing and avoid touching optical interfaces; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Install and remove the module with the system powered according to the host equipment guidelines to avoid port damage. For best performance, follow the fiber vendor’s attenuation and connector type recommendations and monitor link health through standard network management tools.
