Transceptor CBO AFBR-89CTDZ QSFP28 100G

The Transceiver CBO AFBR-89CTDZ QSFP28 100G is a QSFP28 form-factor optical module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible high-speed links. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for short- to medium-reach optical connectivity in data center and carrier environments. The module is intended for use in network switches, routers and aggregation equipment that support QSFP28 ports and offers a standardized solution for deploying 100G links with consistent electrical and optical interfaces.

Advantages

This QSFP28 100G transceiver supports a compact, four-lane electrical interface and conforms to common industry mechanical and electrical specifications for QSFP28 modules. The design enables hot-swap installation and replacement without powering down host equipment, simplifying maintenance and upgrades. With a form factor optimized for high port density, the module helps preserve space in rack-mounted network systems while delivering 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its compatibility with standard QSFP28 interfaces ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches and routers that accept optical QSFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet links in data center spine and leaf switches
• High-speed uplinks between aggregation switches and routers
• Short- to medium-reach optical connections within campus or data center fabrics
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable, high-density transceiver modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Application: 100 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible optical links
• Reach: short to medium optical reach (suitable for intra-data-center and campus links)
• Interface: hot-pluggable electrical/optical QSFP28 connector
• Compatibility: designed for installation in QSFP28-supported network equipment

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 module into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or optical aggregation device following the host vendor’s handling recommendations. Ensure the link partner and cabling meet 100G QSFP28 requirements before powering the link. After insertion, confirm link status and configuration via the host device management interface; firmware or port settings may need verification to enable 100G operation. For removal, follow proper hot-swap procedures and handle the module by the housing to avoid static discharge or contamination of optical interfaces.

Recommendations

Use clean, approved fiber cables and follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. Verify that the host equipment supports QSFP28 modules and the required 100G link settings, and perform link tests after installation to confirm performance and reach.
