BlueOptics 00MP540-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 5 m QSFP28 stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 00MP540-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors. Designed to meet MSA QSFP28 form-factor requirements, this cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 multimode optical transmission and is suited for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. It integrates optical transmitters and receivers at each end and provides a plug-and-play fiber link for data-centre and high-performance computing environments where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This 5 m QSFP28 AOC delivers reliable 100 Gbit/s links over multimode fiber without the need for separate transceivers or patching, reducing insertion loss and maintenance effort. Components follow MSA guidelines and use proven laser and IC suppliers to provide stable optical performance and long operational life. Built-in Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) enables real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, received power and temperature when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• High-performance data-centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and high-throughput storage systems
• Short-reach 100G InfiniBand and Ethernet uplinks inside racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode (active optical cable with integrated transceivers)
• Form factor: QSFP28 according to MSA
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472 compliant when supported by host)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into a compatible QSFP28 port on supported network switches, routers, servers or storage devices. Ensure ports are powered down or follow your equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidelines when installing. Verify that the host hardware supports the required 100GBASE-SR4 protocol and, if you intend to use DDM/DOM, that the device firmware exposes diagnostic readings. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required; the pre-assembled AOC provides a direct optical link between devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid excessive bends and mechanical strain and keep connectors protected from dust when not in use. Confirm compatibility with your specific switch or server model and firmware revision; use the DDM/DOM readings for ongoing link health checks and troubleshooting.
