BlueOptics 100G-Q28-Q28-C-0101-BL InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 1 m QSFP28 stekker

The BlueOptics 100G-Q28-Q28-C-0101-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It implements a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 active optical connection for 100G applications over multimode fiber, providing simultaneous transmit and receive capability and compliance with QSFP28 MSA electrical, mechanical and functional specifications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable supports 100G data rates and is intended for direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connections, reducing the need for intermediate patching and minimizing insertion loss compared with patch-corded assemblies. The active optical design integrates transmitter and receiver modules to enable reliable multimode optical transmission while offering Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, laser bias current, transmit power and receive power. The cable is manufactured to industry MSA guidelines and uses qualified components to provide long service life and high availability.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Verify that the host devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and the DDM/DOM monitoring if diagnostics are required. After insertion, check the link status on the connected devices and monitor optical parameters via the management interface where supported. Remove the cable by releasing the QSFP28 latch and pulling straight out to avoid stressing the connector.

Recommendations

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP28 AOC modules and the intended 100G protocol before deployment. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for AOC assemblies. Use DDM/DOM readings for preventive monitoring and include the cable in routine maintenance checks to confirm expected optical performance.
