How to install Accortec 100Gb/s QSFP28 Optical Transceiver
- Prepare the device: Power down the switch or place the port in maintenance mode as required by your network policy. If your hardware supports hot-swapping, verify that the port is flagged as ready for a module exchange.
- Remove the existing transceiver: Carefully release the module latch on the QSFP28 port and slide the old module straight out. Avoid twisting or forcing the component to prevent damage to the receptacle or the port.
- Inspect and align: Inspect the port and connector area for debris or dust. Align the Accortec QSFP28 module with the slot so that the connector interface lines up cleanly with the port’s receptacle orientation.
- Insert and seat: Gently push the module into the port until it seats firmly and the latching mechanism engages. Do not force the module; if you feel resistance, remove and reinsert to ensure proper alignment and seating.
- Connect the fiber cables: Attach the appropriate MPO fiber harness with the correct fiber type (e.g., OM3/OM4) and MPO connectors. Ensure clean, undamaged connector ends and verify proper polarity and channel mapping as required by your topology. After seating, verify that the link status indicators illuminate as expected and perform a basic connectivity test.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Accortec 100Gb QSFP28 transceiver best used for?
The transceiver is designed for high-bandwidth data-center fabrics, enterprise backbones, and HPC clusters that require dense 100Gb/s interconnects. It uses a QSFP28 form factor with MPO connectors and 850 nm multimode optics for short-reach interconnects, making it ideal for SR4-style deployments in multi-mode fiber environments.
- What kind of fiber and reach does it support?
It uses multimode fiber (typical MMF such as OM3/OM4) and supports short-reach links—commonly up to 100 meters depending on fiber quality and network conditions. The 850 nm VCSEL optics are optimized for SR-type, parallel fiber configurations using MPO connectors.
- Is this transceiver interoperable with different vendors?
Yes. The Accortec 100Gb QSFP28 optical transceiver is MSA-compliant, designed for broad interoperability across leading switches, servers, and storage platforms. Always verify the exact SKU revision with your network device to confirm full compatibility and supported breakout or lane-mapping options.
- Do I need special cabling or cleaning procedures?
Yes. Use clean, properly rated multimode fiber cables with MPO connectors. Follow standard fiber-cleaning practices and inspect connectors for+$ debris before mating. Proper handling minimizes insertion loss and preserves link integrity.
- What about installation impact and warranty?
Installations should follow standard ESD precautions and vendor guidelines. The warranty terms vary by vendor and region; consult your supplier documentation for the exact warranty period and coverage on Accortec transceivers.
