QSFP28 transceivermodule BlueOptics 5M3CP-BO 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 5M3CP-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-density, high-speed network environments. With a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s, this compact silver module supports 100 GbE links and is suitable for data center uplinks, core switches and aggregation layers. The module is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, indicating long-term reliability in continuous-operation installations.

Advantages

The QSFP28 interface provides four-lane, high-throughput connectivity in a single compact housing, enabling efficient port density and reduced cabling complexity. A rated maximum throughput of 100000 Mbit/s meets common requirements for 100 GbE infrastructures. The small form factor and low weight simplify handling and swapping in modular switch and router platforms. A high MTBF value reflects expected operational durability under normal environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and campus backbones
• High-speed uplinks between switches and routers
• Aggregation and spine-leaf architectures in enterprise networks

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or network interface card following the host device manufacturer's hot-plug and electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines. Ensure the transceiver is fully seated and latched, then connect the appropriate fiber cable or MPO/MTP harness rated for 100 GbE. Verify link synchronization and module diagnostics via the host device management interface and monitor optical parameters to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode or single-mode fiber and compatible connectors specified for 100 GbE to achieve optimal link performance. Adhere to ESD precautions during handling, keep optical ports covered when not in use, and consult the network equipment vendor's compatibility list to ensure full interoperability.
