BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 1m QSFP28 stekker-stekker

The BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data center and enterprise networking environments, this cable supports 100G data transmission over multimode fibre using a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 interface that follows MSA guidelines. The integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end handle optical signal conversion and help maintain reliable links with low signal loss in short-reach connections.

Advantages

This 1 m AOC provides a compact, low-power alternative to separate transceivers and patch cables by integrating optics into a single assembly, reducing component count and simplifying rack cabling. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration enables direct device-to-device connections between compatible switches, servers and storage systems without additional modules. Compliance with common 100GBASE-SR4 signalling and MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor ensures interoperability with hardware platforms that support the corresponding original cable type.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between switches equipped with QSFP28 ports
• Server-to-switch uplinks in data center top-of-rack configurations
• High-speed storage area network links and fabric interconnects
• Short-reach InfiniBand or Ethernet 100G interconnects within racks or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated TX/RX modules
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Optical medium: multimode fibre for short-reach applications
• Form factor compatibility: QSFP28 (MSA-compatible)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring connectors are fully seated and latches engage. No separate transceivers are required; the cable’s integrated modules will negotiate link parameters with the connected equipment. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and ensure both devices support the 100GBASE-SR4 or compatible 100G signalling over QSFP28. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your hardware platform’s supported AOC types and link profiles before deployment, and avoid exposing the cable to excessive bending, temperature extremes, or mechanical stress to maintain consistent performance.
