QSFP28 transceiver BlueOptics Q28-514 100G

BlueOptics Q28-514 is a QSFP28 100G optical transceiver designed for high‑speed data transmission in data center and enterprise networks. The module uses the QSFP28 form factor to deliver 100 gigabit throughput in a compact, hot‑pluggable package compatible with equipment that supports QSFP28 interfaces. It is intended for backbone links, aggregation layers and high‑capacity uplinks where stable fiber connectivity and straightforward installation are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 100G performance in a small QSFP28 footprint, enabling dense port counts in switches and routers while keeping power consumption and space usage low. Hot‑pluggable design allows replacement or addition without powering down systems. The module is manufactured to meet optical and mechanical tolerances typical for data center environments, supporting interoperable operation with compatible network equipment and fiber cabling.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or optical device while the system is powered, following vendor guidance for handling and ESD protection. Connect appropriate fiber patch cords to the transceiver's optical interface, ensuring correct fiber type and connector polarity. Verify link status and interface configuration in network equipment management software, and adjust speed or channel settings if required by the host device.

Recommendations

Handle the module by its edges, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and keep protective dust caps on until cables are ready to be connected. Confirm compatibility with the host device and the required fiber type before deployment, and perform link tests after installation to validate signal integrity and performance.
