QSFP transceiver BlueOptics QSFP-100G-4WDM-40-BO 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-4WDM-40-BO is a QSFP28 fiber optic transceiver designed for 100 Gbit/s links over single-mode fiber. The module comes in a silver metal housing, features an LC duplex connector and supports data transfer rates up to 100000 Mbit/s with a maximum reach of 40 km. Weighing approximately 40 g and supplied as a single unit per package, the transceiver follows MSA form factor specifications and is suitable for use in compatible networking hardware that accepts 100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 modules.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver provides multi-wavelength CWDM transmission and reception for long-reach 100G links, enabling Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 40 km. The metal housing and LC duplex interface ensure mechanical robustness and standard fiber connectivity. Modules are tested for interoperability with major hardware platforms that support the 100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 specification, and include digital diagnostic monitoring for real‑time parameter access.

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP28 slot on a switch, router or storage system that supports 100GBASE-ER4 transceivers. Use LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords or a patch panel with appropriate single-mode cabling to connect to the remote transceiver. Ensure the host device firmware and software accept third-party transceivers if applicable. After insertion, verify link status and, where available, read the digital diagnostic monitoring values to confirm optical power, temperature and supply parameters.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach performance, use low-loss single-mode fiber and adhere to correct fiber handling and connector cleanliness procedures. Verify compatibility with the specific hardware platform and enable DDM/DOM support in the host system when monitoring is required.
