BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC25M-HU-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 25 m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC25M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 25 m is a 25-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. It follows QSFP28 AOC MSA standards and supports 100GBASE-SR4 type multimode transmission, providing a factory-assembled, low-latency optical link for data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end and offers digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameter reporting such as voltage, temperature and optical power.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a pre-terminated QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection that avoids patch panels and additional fiber cleaning, reducing insertion loss risks. It is engineered for interoperability with major hardware platforms that support 100G QSFP28 AOCs and is manufactured to MSA-compliant specifications using high-quality optical components. The integrated DDM/DOM simplifies troubleshooting and remote monitoring. The design targets prolonged service life and high availability for continuous operation in demanding network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports in data center switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage systems and server uplinks requiring 100 Gbit/s links
• Short-reach multimode optical links within racks and between adjacent racks (up to 25 m)

Key specifications

• Length: 25 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission standard: 100GBASE-SR4 multimode
• Topology: Active optical cable with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant
• Suitable media: Multimode fibre
• Compliance: QSFP28 AOC MSA compatible; meets common industrial directives such as CE and RoHS

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the QSFP28 plugs into matching QSFP28 ports on your network devices while the devices are powered according to the hardware vendor guidelines. Ensure both host ports support QSFP28 AOC modules and the 100G transmission mode. If DDM/DOM is required, verify that the host hardware supports reading diagnostic data. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable within the specified multimode reach (up to 25 m) and follow vendor guidelines for port compatibility. Avoid kinking or exceeding the minimum bend radius and maintain clean port environments to preserve optical performance and diagnostic accuracy.
