Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-I-AO MSA Comp QSFP28 LC 100G-BX 10KM SMF

Overview

The Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-I-AO is an MSA-compliant QSFP28 transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber. It utilizes a Bi-Directional (BX) transmission scheme, sending and receiving data on different wavelengths over a single fiber strand, thereby maximizing fiber utilization. This module is engineered for high-density data center interconnects and enterprise backbone applications where reliable, high-speed data transport is critical. The LC connector ensures a secure and standard connection for single-mode fiber deployments.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is designed to be compatible with network equipment adhering to the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards for QSFP28 modules. It is suitable for use in switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers that support 100GBASE-LR4 or equivalent standards and accept MSA-compliant QSFP28 modules. Verify your specific equipment's compatibility list for MSA QSFP28 transceivers.

Installation Notes

Install the Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-I-AO module into a standard QSFP28 port. Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and free of debris before connecting the LC duplex connector. The BX design requires pairing with a complementary BX transceiver on the other end of the fiber strand, operating on the inverse wavelengths. For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity over the 10km distance, use high-quality single-mode fiber (OS2) and avoid sharp bends that exceed a 30mm bend radius.
