BlueOptics QSFP28-transceiver R0Z30A-BO — 100GBASE-CWDM4, LC-duplex, singlemode, 2 km, DDM

BlueOptics QSFP28 Transceiver R0Z30A-BO is a 100GBASE-CWDM4 optical module designed for singlemode fiber links up to 2 km. The module uses an LC-duplex connector and CWDM technology across four wavelength channels to deliver aggregated 100 Gbit/s performance in compact QSFP28 form factor. It supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) and operates across an industrial temperature range, making it suitable for data center and carrier aggregation environments that require high-density 100 Gbps connectivity.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP28 interface with LC duplex connectivity and 100 Gbit/s aggregate throughput using CWDM multiplexing for singlemode fiber. Integrated digital diagnostics monitoring enables real-time readout of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power, and temperature for simplified maintenance. The module is built to established MSA dimensional and electrical standards and is compatible with hardware platforms that support 100GBASE-CWDM4 QSFP28 modules. Support for a 0 °C to +70 °C operating range and a compact form factor allows deployment in dense installations.

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router, or other network device that supports 100GBASE-CWDM4 modules. Use singlemode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors to connect to remote modules or patch panels. Ensure the fiber path and connectors are clean and properly seated before link activation. Verify that the host device supports DDM if monitoring of optical parameters is required. After insertion, check the link status and diagnostic values via the host device management interface to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality singlemode patch cords, maintain clean connector endfaces, and confirm host compatibility with 100GBASE-CWDM4 QSFP28 modules and DDM. Limit bends in fiber runs and follow recommended ESD precautions during handling. If monitoring is required, enable DDM readouts on the host device to track optical power and temperature for preventive maintenance.
