Fibre optic transceiver module BlueOptics 10404-BO QSFP28 2000 m

The BlueOptics 10404-BO QSFP28 2000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high‑speed 100G data transmission over single‑mode fiber up to 2 km. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing 40 g, this QSFP28 module provides a compact, MSA‑compliant interface with LC duplex connectivity for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. It implements CWDM4 optics designed to support Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other high‑speed protocols while offering digital diagnostic monitoring for real‑time link information.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a balance of performance and durability: CWDM4 optics for 100G links over extended single‑mode distances, a robust aluminium housing that contributes to thermal stability, and a lightweight 40 g form factor for easy handling and installation. The module is manufactured to industry MSA standards, enabling broad compatibility with QSFP28 ports and supporting digital diagnostics for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature.

Suitable for

• 100G Ethernet links between switches and routers within data centers
• High‑speed storage networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Aggregation and spine‑leaf architectures requiring up to 2 km single‑mode links
• Environments where digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) is used for link maintenance

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28
• Optical standard: 100GBASE‑CWDM4 (CWDM4 optics)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 2000 m on single‑mode fiber
• Housing: aluminium
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: supported (DDM/DOM, SFF‑8472 compatible)

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 port on switches, routers or other networking equipment while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot‑swap procedures. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords, ensuring proper polarity for transmit and receive channels. Verify link negotiation and protocol settings on both ends of the connection. If supported by your hardware and management software, enable and read digital diagnostics to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature during commissioning and operation.

Recommendations

Use certified single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords to achieve the rated 2000 m reach. Confirm hardware compatibility with the host device and ensure firmware or driver support for third‑party QSFP28 modules and DDM/DOM features. For optimal thermal performance and longevity, avoid obstructing module airflow in high‑density chassis and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion and removal.
