Product Features
Technical Overview
This QSFP28 transceiver operates on the 100GBase-SWDM4 protocol, which uses four wavelengths over a single pair of multi-mode fibers to achieve 100 Gbps throughput. The module supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) to maximize bandwidth efficiency while maintaining compatibility with existing OM3/OM4 cable plants.
The transceiver features digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, including temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. This allows network administrators to proactively manage link health and troubleshoot connectivity issues without physical inspection.
Key Product Advantages
The Dell 407-BBVN transceiver offers a future-proof solution for upgrading network backbone capacity without replacing existing fiber infrastructure. Its SWDM4 technology allows four independent data streams over a single fiber pair, reducing cable count and simplifying cable management in high-density environments.
High-Density Connectivity
The QSFP28 form factor supports up to 100 Gbps per port, enabling switch vendors to offer higher port densities without increasing chassis size. This is essential for modern data centers facing space and power constraints.
- QSFP28 footprint
- 100 Gbps per port
- Reduced rack space
Operational Reliability
Built to meet industry standards for optical performance and thermal management, this transceiver ensures stable operation in demanding 24/7 environments. Hot-pluggable design allows for maintenance without network downtime.
- Industrial temperature range
- Hot-swappable
- DDM monitoring
Deployment / Use Cases
This transceiver is optimized for short-reach connections within data centers, campus networks, and enterprise buildings. Its 100-meter reach over OM3/OM4 fiber makes it suitable for linking switches within the same rack, across adjacent racks, or between floors in a building.
Common applications include spine-leaf network architectures, storage area network (SAN) interconnects, and high-performance computing clusters. The module is particularly valuable in environments where fiber infrastructure is already deployed and upgrading to higher speeds is required.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect top-of-rack switches to aggregation or core switches within the same data hall. The 100 Gbps bandwidth supports traffic from multiple servers or storage arrays.
- Server-to-switch links
- Switch-to-switch uplinks
- Storage connectivity
Enterprise Backbone
Upgrade existing 10G or 40G links to 100G without replacing fiber cables. The SWDM4 technology works with legacy multi-mode fiber, protecting previous investments.
- Building backbone
- Campus network links
- Legacy fiber reuse

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this transceiver supports?
This Dell QSFP28 transceiver supports distances up to 100 meters over OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fiber. This reach is typical for short-range applications within data centers, server rooms, or building backbones where high-speed connectivity is needed over relatively short distances.
Which switches is this transceiver compatible with?
The 407-BBVN transceiver is coded for Dell EMC switches, specifically the S5212F-ON and S5224F-ON models. It is designed to work seamlessly with these platforms, ensuring full functionality and performance when used in supported switch ports. Always verify compatibility with your specific switch model and firmware version.
Does this transceiver support digital diagnostics monitoring?
Yes, this QSFP28 transceiver includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities. This feature allows real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, and transmitted/received optical power. Network management systems can use this data for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
What type of fiber connector does this transceiver use?
This transceiver uses an LC duplex connector, which is the industry standard for high-density optical connections. The LC connector's small form factor allows for more ports per switch faceplate and is commonly used in data center and enterprise environments for its reliability and ease of use.
