Transceiver in fibra ottica BlueOptics R8M61A-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28

The BlueOptics R8M61A-BO 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28 is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links up to 100 Gbit/s. It implements the 100GBASE-DR profile with LC duplex connectors for single-mode fiber and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor. The module is finished in silver, weighs approximately 40 g, and is specified with a high MTBF for extended operational reliability.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact QSFP28 form factor that supports 100 Gbit/s data rates while maintaining compatibility with systems that accept HPE R8M61A-style modules. With LC duplex fiber connections and support for single-mode transmission, the module enables long-reach links up to 500 m. The unit’s specified MTBF reflects an emphasis on continuous operation in data center and enterprise environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot of the network device, ensuring the module is fully seated and the device supports the 100GBASE-DR profile or HPE R8M61A-compatible modules. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, observing correct polarity and cleanliness of connectors. After installation, verify link status and configure the host device for the intended 100G link mode and protocols such as Ethernet or Fibre Channel if required.

Recommendations

Handle fiber connectors carefully and clean end faces before mating. Use manufacturer- or vendor-supported compatibility lists when deploying in switches, routers or storage systems. For reliable performance, operate the module within the host device’s environmental and optical budget specifications and perform an initial link test following installation.
