Transceptor BlueOptics TRX-100G-DR1-03 QSFP28 100GBASE-DR LC-Duplex 1310 nm PAM4 500 m DDM 0–70 °C

The BlueOptics TRX-100G-DR1-03 is a QSFP28 optical transceiver designed for 100GBASE-DR links over singlemode fiber. It uses a LC-duplex connector and transmits at a 1310 nm wavelength with PAM4 modulation, supporting a link reach up to 500 meters. The module incorporates digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) and is rated to operate reliably within an ambient temperature range of 0–70°C, making it suitable for high-speed data center and carrier interconnect applications that require short-reach 100 Gbps singlemode connections.

Advantages

The transceiver supports PAM4 modulation and QSFP28 form factor to enable 100 Gbps throughput while maintaining compatibility with standard LC-duplex fiber links. Built-in digital diagnostics provide live monitoring of optical and electrical parameters for simplified troubleshooting and maintenance. The specified operating temperature range and singlemode design suit typical data centre and carrier environments where compact, high-density, short-reach 100G connections are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port on your switch or router following the host device manufacturer’s insertion and removal procedures. Connect singlemode LC-duplex fiber patch cables to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation. Verify link establishment and monitor module health and optical parameters via the host system’s diagnostics interface that supports DDM/DOM. Ensure the device is operated within the specified temperature range and the fiber run does not exceed the 500 m reach specification.

Recommendations

Use high-quality singlemode fiber and LC-duplex connectors, maintain appropriate bend-radius and connector cleanliness, and verify transceiver compatibility with the host equipment. Monitor DDM/DOM values periodically to detect power or temperature deviations early. For reliable 100G performance, keep fiber runs within the specified reach and follow data-center cabling best practices.
