Transceptor CBO JQP-04SRAB1 100G QSFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics Transceiver CBO JQP-04SRAB1 100G QSFP28 850 nm is a compact, hot-pluggable optical module designed for short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet links. It fits QSFP28 ports and is intended for high-density network environments such as data center interconnects, switch-to-switch links and server uplinks. The module uses an 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology optimized for multimode fiber deployments and provides interoperable connectivity with compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This 100G QSFP28 transceiver offers a hot-pluggable form factor for tool-less installation and replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Its 850 nm optical interface supports cost-effective multimode fiber solutions for short-reach connectivity while preserving high throughput and low latency. The compact QSFP28 footprint enables high port density in switches and servers, helping to conserve rack space and simplify cabling architecture.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, router or server according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect multimode fiber cables with the appropriate connector type to the transceiver's optical interface and ensure proper cable routing and strain relief. After physical installation, verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and configure network settings as required for 100G operation. For replacement, power down the host only if required by the equipment vendor; otherwise use hot-plug procedures to remove and insert modules safely.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 or as specified by the system vendor) and clean connector endfaces before mating. Verify compatibility with the host equipment and maintain firmware and driver versions recommended by the network vendor. Avoid exceeding the advised bend radius for fiber cabling and keep the module in a dust-free environment when not installed, using dust caps to protect optical ports.
