QSFP transceivermodule BlueOptics QSFP-100G-B10U4-I-BO 100000 Mbit/s LC

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-B10U4-I-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for 100 Gbit/s optical links. It uses an LC simplex connector and supports long-reach single-fiber transmission with separate transmit and receive wavelengths. The module follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 form-factor specifications, is compatible with Cisco hardware platforms that accept equivalent QSFP-100G LR1-BX-U modules, and includes digital diagnostics for monitoring key optical and electrical parameters. The compact unit weighs about 20 g and is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other network equipment that require high-bandwidth, low-latency fiber connections.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and supports optical reach up to 10000 m, enabling long-distance 100G links over single-mode fiber. It implements separate transmit and receive wavelengths (1270 nm transmit, 1330 nm receive) and an LC simplex interface for straightforward fiber connections. BlueOptics devices are tested for interoperability with common Cisco platforms and comply with MSA standards to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. An integrated Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) interface offers real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser currents, optical power and temperature to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.

How to use

Install the QSFP-100G-B10U4-I-BO module into a QSFP28-compatible port on supported network equipment following the vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Use an appropriate LC simplex single-mode patch cable or a compatible breakout assembly to connect to the remote transceiver. Ensure the host device firmware or software accepts third‑party QSFP modules if required, and confirm that the link side supports the LR1-BX-U optical profile and DDM access. After insertion, verify link status and monitor DDM parameters to confirm correct operation and optical budget margins.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex fiber compliant patch cables and maintain proper connector cleanliness to preserve signal quality. Verify compatibility with the specific switch or router model and enable DDM/DOM support in the host if remote diagnostics are needed. For long-term availability, store and handle the transceiver according to manufacturer ESD and temperature guidelines and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii.
