QSFP transceiver BlueOptics QSFP-100G-SWDM4-AR-BO 100G 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-SWDM4-AR-BO is a fiber optic QSFP28 transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and uses SWDM4 shortwave division multiplexing to carry multiple channels over a single multimode fiber pair, enabling high-density, high-speed connections in data centers and enterprise networks. The module has LC fiber connectors and is provided in a silver housing; its compact QSFP28 form factor is compatible with systems that accept QSFP interfaces and is indicated as compatible with Dell equipment.

Advantages

The module provides 100 Gbit/s throughput in a compact QSFP28 package, offering space-efficient aggregation and uplink options. Its SWDM4 technology reduces fiber count by multiplexing multiple wavelengths, which can lower cabling complexity and infrastructure cost in multimode fiber deployments. With a specified reach of up to 100 m over suitable multimode fiber, it suits short-range high-speed links. The silver metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness while keeping weight low at approximately 40 g.

How to use

Install the QSFP-100G-SWDM4-AR-BO into a compatible QSFP28 slot on a switch or server according to the host equipment instructions. Connect LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct polarity and secure latching. Configure the host port for 100 Gigabit Ethernet operation if required by the switch or network adapter software. Verify link status and diagnostics via the host system's management interface and perform standard optical testing to confirm expected performance within the 100 m reach.

Recommendations

Use approved multimode fiber types and quality LC patch cords to achieve the specified 100 m distance. Observe manufacturer guidelines for ESD handling and insertion/removal to avoid damage. Match the module with host systems that support QSFP28 transceivers and check compatibility lists where available to ensure proper operation.
