BlueOptics QSFP28-transceiver 980-9I17B-00CS00-BO, MPO/MTP, 100GBASE-SR4, multimode 4×850nm, 100 m, DDM/DOM, 0–70°C

BlueOptics QSFP28 Transceiver 980-9I17B-00CS00-BO is a compact optical module designed for 100GBASE-SR4 short-reach connections. The transceiver uses an MPO/MTP interface and multimode fiber with four parallel 850 nm lanes to deliver aggregate 100 Gbps bandwidth over distances up to 100 meters. On-board digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) provides real-time status of optical parameters, and the module is specified to operate reliably in ambient temperatures from 0 to 70°C.

Advantages

The QSFP28 form factor offers high port density for aggregation switches and data center top-of-rack deployments while maintaining low power consumption for short-reach 100 Gbps links. Using MPO/MTP and multimode optics simplifies cabling in trunk and breakout applications. Built-in DDM/DOM enables monitoring of optical power, temperature and supply voltage for easier troubleshooting and maintenance. The module's industrial temperature range supports standard data center environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot on a switch or transceiver cage following the host device vendor's insertion and removal procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber cable with the appropriate polarity and breakout wiring if connecting to multiple 25 G lanes or to QSFP-to-4xSFP28 adapters. Verify link status on the host device and use DDM/DOM readings to confirm optical power, temperature and voltage within expected ranges before putting the link into production.

Recommendations

For reliable 100GBASE-SR4 performance, use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber to achieve the specified reach and maintain proper MPO/MTP connector cleanliness. Monitor DDM/DOM metrics after installation to detect connector contamination or fiber bend losses, and ensure operating temperature remains within the 0–70°C range specified for the module.
