QSFP28 transceiver BlueOptics AQPMANQ4EDMA0784-BO, LC-Duplex, 100GBASE-DR, SMF, 1310 nm, 500 m, 0–70 °C, DDM

BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver AQPMANQ4EDMA0784-BO is a 100GBASE-DR optical module with an LC-Duplex interface designed for singlemode fiber transmission at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module supports a reach of up to 500 meters over singlemode fiber and operates in an ambient temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) provides real-time access to optical and electrical parameters for operational visibility. The form factor and electrical interface are designed for QSFP28 ports to deliver 100 Gbit/s line rate for data center and metro network links.

Advantages

This QSFP28 transceiver combines 100 Gbit/s capacity with a compact hot-pluggable form factor suitable for dense network equipment. The LC-Duplex singlemode design at 1310 nm enables short-reach 100GBASE-DR links up to 500 m while maintaining low power consumption and stable performance across the specified operating temperature. Built-in DDM enhances maintainability by allowing monitoring of transmit and receive power, temperature, voltage and bias current through standard management interfaces.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on switch, router or optical transport equipment following the host device manufacturer’s hot-plug guidance. Connect LC-Duplex singlemode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Monitor link status and diagnostic parameters using the host device management interface that exposes DDM telemetry. Verify that the fiber type, link budget and device configuration match the 100GBASE-DR specification before placing the link into production.

Recommendations

Use high-quality singlemode LC patch cords and observe proper fiber handling to avoid increased attenuation. Confirm compatibility with the QSFP28 port vendor and ensure firmware or compatibility settings are set if required by the host. For reliable 500 m links, account for connector and splice losses in the link budget and periodically review DDM readings to detect degradation.
