F5 Networks compatible F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 Description
EdgeOptic's F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 compatible is an F5-coded 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver built on the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 is F5 Networks' commercial field-upgrade ordering SKU for the 10 km 100G LR4 QSFP28 module; F5's internal part code for the same module is OPT-0039-xx. The EdgeOptic compatible carries F5-recognized EEPROM identifiers so the host chassis surfaces the expected F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 ordering code in CLI and management telemetry, with the same wavelength plan, electrical interface, and SFF-8636 management profile as the OEM module.
The optical interface follows IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88 100GBASE-LR4. Four 25.78 Gbps NRZ lanes ride the LAN WDM grid at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm, then multiplex onto a single LC UPC duplex pair of G.652 single-mode fiber for a full 10 km reach. F5's transceiver documentation lists F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 as a QSFP28 100G-LR4 module rated for 10 km, LC UPC, SMF, 4.5 W typical, with DDM; EdgeOptic's compatible draws 3.5 W typical per the 100G-QSFP28-10 platform specification. Host electrical interface is CAUI-4 (4x25G NRZ) into the QSFP28 cage. The module reports DDM telemetry per SFF-8636 for tx power, rx power, bias current, supply voltage, and case temperature. Operating temperature is 0 to 70 C commercial. The EdgeOptic compatible carries Class 1 laser safety classification, CE marking, and RoHS compliance.
F5's transceiver documentation lists F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 for the i15000, r5000, r10000, and r12000-DS appliance families, the VIPRION B4400 Series blade chassis, and the VELOS BX110 blade. The same 10 km 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 specification covers each of those platforms. F5's VELOS training documentation notes that F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 (OPT-0039) is compatible with VELOS while the separate F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP28-LR4 (OPT-0052) is F5's current default ordering SKU for new VELOS deployments. The F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP28-LR4 is covered on its own EdgeOptic compatible page within the same product family.
F5 article K8153 limits F5 official support to F5-branded or F5-provided optics, so EdgeOptic compatibles operate normally on F5 hardware but are not covered under an F5 support contract. Verify the entry for your specific F5 platform in F5's transceiver documentation before deployment. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. For volume orders, custom programming, or pre-sales engineering questions, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 and OPT-0039-xx?
F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 is the commercial field-upgrade SKU customers order from F5 channels. OPT-0039-xx is F5's internal ordering format for the same 10 km LR4 QSFP28 module documented in F5 techdocs, with OPT-0039-01 as the canonical variant. Match the SKU specified in your purchase flow. Note that F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP28-LR4 (OPT-0052-xx) is a separate VELOS-specific upgrade SKU and is not interchangeable with this part. EdgeOptic's compatible covers F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 and OPT-0039-xx with one EEPROM image; the F5-UPG-VEL variant has its own page.
Which F5 platforms support the F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4?
F5's transceiver documentation lists F5-UPG-QSFP28-LR4 for the i15000, r5000, r10000, and r12000-DS appliance families, the VIPRION B4400 Series blade chassis, and the VELOS BX110 blade. The smaller rSeries appliances (r2600, r2800, r4600, r4800) carry SFP28 ports rather than QSFP28 cages and do not accept this module. The VELOS BX110 blade is the supported VELOS line card; for current VELOS deployments F5 documents the separate F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP28-LR4 SKU as the default ordering option. Always verify the entry for your specific platform in F5's transceiver documentation before deployment.
Does F5 officially support third-party QSFP28 optics in rSeries and VELOS?
F5 article K8153 sets the policy: F5 only provides official support for F5-branded or F5-provided optical transceivers, and rSeries and VELOS training documents both reference K8153 for transceiver coverage. A compatible module initializes, establishes link, and reports DDM telemetry the same way the OEM optic does, but if a TAC case touches the optic itself F5 may reference K8153. Many customers deploy compatibles in non-mission-critical positions or alongside F5-branded modules in production-critical positions to balance cost against the support boundary. Pre-purchase, confirm the policy fits your support model.
