BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 1m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1M-BO is a 1 metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet interconnects in data centers and networking environments. The pre-assembled multi-mode optical link integrates transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 housings and follows MSA QSFP28 electrical, mechanical and functional specifications to ensure interoperable plug-and-play operation across compatible network hardware. The cable supports simultaneous send and receive optical transmission and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote status and error analysis where supported by host equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides a short, low-latency, EMI-immune optical connection without the need for field termination or patchcord cleaning. Built to MSA standards, it offers plug-and-play compatibility with systems that support QSFP28 AOCs and is manufactured using high-quality optical and electronic components to deliver stable operation and a long service life. The integrated DDM/DOM capability enables real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, received power and temperature for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch 100G links in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) and InfiniBand connectivity
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects requiring 100G bandwidth
• Environments where electromagnetic interference must be avoided

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre (pre-assembled cable)
• Supported data rates: up to 100 Gbps aggregate (100GBASE-SR4 / compatible InfiniBand rates)
• Optical type: multi-mode optical transmission with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM monitoring compliant with SFF-8472
• Compliance: MSA QSFP28 AOC standard, CE and RoHS compliant

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers, servers or storage devices while the host equipment is powered according to the manufacturer instructions. Verify that the receiving hardware supports QSFP28 AOCs and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, that the host system can read diagnostic values. For best results, avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius and ensure connectors are handled by the housing to prevent contamination or damage.

Recommendations

Use in short-reach uplinks and server interconnects where a direct, low-latency optical link is required. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's supported AOC list when deploying in production environments and store spare cables in protective packaging to preserve connector integrity.
