Extreme QSFP-BX10-100G Compatible 100G QSFP28 BX10-D Transceiver Module 10km 1331nm-TX/1271nm-RX
Built for hosts recognizing QSFP-BX10-100G, this HT-manufactured QSFP28 module delivers 100G transmission at 1331nm-TX/1271nm-RX. Its rated reach is 10km, with Simplex LC/UPC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support procurement teams match an equipment parts list to a clearly defined optical product, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Applications and Optical Link Design
This BiDi interface is useful where only one fiber strand is available between two sites or racks. It must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction: one end transmits on the wavelength that the other end receives. Verify the paired part number, connector polish and fiber plant before installation, and measure link loss against the specified optical budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
This single-fiber interface must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction. One end transmits on the wavelength the other receives. Verify connector polish and measure loss over the 10km design range before service.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -1.9-4.8dBm; the stated optical power budget is 6.3dB. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Procurement and Asset Identification
A useful purchase order identifies the host platform, expected OEM code and optical standard separately. This prevents a module with the same housing but another wavelength, reach or identification profile from being substituted. For mixed deployments, keep one order line per OEM reference and reconcile each received unit with its intended port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 106.25Gbps, wavelength 1331nm-TX/1271nm-RX, rated reach 10km.
Extreme Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as QSFP-BX10-100G, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify QSFP-BX10-100G, QSFP-BX10-100G, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Extreme transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QSFP-BX10-100G, not an original Extreme-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Simplex LC/UPC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 10km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
