Optische transceiver BlueOptics 100G FR QSFP28 BO28L13602DS — 100G singlemode FR, QSFP28

The BlueOptics 100G FR QSFP28 (model BO28L13602DS) is a 100 Gigabit single-mode optical transceiver in the QSFP28 form factor designed for FR (forward-reach) links. It supports 100G Ethernet over single-mode fiber and is intended for use in data center interconnects, metro aggregation and enterprise backbone segments requiring forward-reach optics. The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for switches, routers and optical transport equipment that accept QSFP28 transceivers.

Advantages

This optical transceiver delivers 100G throughput with single-mode fiber support and FR reach characteristics, offering a balance between distance and cost for intermediate long-haul links. The QSFP28 form factor enables high-density port configurations and hot-swap capability, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Designed for interoperability with QSFP28-compliant ports, the module supports standard optical wavelengths and single-mode fiber connectors to integrate with existing network infrastructure.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on supported network equipment while the host device is powered on or per vendor guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Ensure fiber patch cords are clean and correctly terminated to the module’s duplex single-mode interface. Configure the host port for 100G operation and verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface. Follow equipment vendor instructions for any required firmware or compatibility settings.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber patch cords and dust caps to protect connectors. Verify compatibility with the host device and consult link budgeting for FR reach to confirm required optical power and distance. Maintain clean connector endfaces and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
