QSFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics QSFP-100G-CLR4-BO fiber optic 2000m

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-CLR4-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed 100G data transmission over single-mode fiber. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 40 grams, this module supports link distances up to 2000 meters and uses an LC Duplex interface following MSA conventions. It implements the 100GBASE-CWDM4 optical standard and includes transmitter and receiver channels with CWDM wavelength multiplexing for aggregated 100 Gbit/s throughput.

Advantages

The module offers 100G performance in a compact QSFP28 form factor and is compatible with equipment that supports 100GBASE-CWDM4 optics. Its aluminium enclosure provides mechanical durability and heat dissipation while the lightweight design facilitates dense deployment in data center and carrier environments. Digital diagnostics support allows real-time monitoring of optical and electrical parameters when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-leaf interconnects
• High-performance switching and routing platforms
• Storage area networks and high-bandwidth server connections
• Carrier and campus backbone links up to 2 km

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 (QSFP transceiver)
• Optical standard: 100GBASE-CWDM4
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC Duplex
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 2000 meters
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg
• Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported when host hardware provides access

How to use

Install the QSFP-100G-CLR4-BO into a compatible QSFP28 port following the host hardware vendor's insertion and removal procedures to avoid ESD or mechanical damage. Connect LC Duplex single-mode patch cords between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring proper polarity and fiber cleanliness. Verify that the host device is configured to accept 100GBASE-CWDM4 optics and check link status and diagnostics through the switch or router management interface. If DDM/DOM information is available, use it to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and maintain clean fiber connectors to achieve the rated 2000 m range and reliable performance. Confirm compatibility with the target switching or routing platform and enable digital diagnostics on the host system to support remote monitoring. For dense deployments, ensure adequate port cooling and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plug handling.
