Axiom QSFP28 100GBase-DR Transceiver

This Axiom QSFP28 module delivers 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data networking and optical network environments. It targets network engineers and infrastructure teams who need reliable, high-speed links over single-mode fibre. The transceiver arrives pre-configured with application-specific code to meet OEM router and switch requirements. It functions identically to original modules in all MSA-compliant platforms.

Thermals noise and power draw

The module operates within standard QSFP28 power envelopes for 100GBase-DR optics. Typical insertion loss and receiver sensitivity values align with the .50 km reach specification. No active cooling is required beyond the host system's normal airflow. Power consumption remains consistent with comparable 100G transceiver classes.

Build quality and daily implications

The duplex LC connector ensures secure single-mode fibre attachment in dense patch panels. Full MSA compliance guarantees mechanical fit across mixed-vendor switches and routers. Unique part-number serialization eliminates identification conflicts during deployment or troubleshooting. The design supports hot-plug installation without network disruption.

Questions about this item

How do I install the QSFP28 module and avoid damaging the LC connector?

Insert the module into the QSFP28 port until it clicks, then connect single-mode duplex LC cables by aligning the key and pushing straight in; forcing the connector at an angle cracks the ferrule.

What maintenance will the 100GBase-DR transceiver need over time?

Clean the LC connector end-faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol whenever links show rising error counts; the module itself has no user-serviceable parts.

At what distance does the 100GBase-DR signal hit its limit under sustained load?

The 100GBase-DR specification guarantees operation up to .50 km over single-mode fiber; beyond that the optical budget is exceeded and errors increase.
