BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 30m QSFP28 stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transfer in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable adheres to MSA QSFP28 form-factor standards and implements 100GBASE-SR4 compatible transmission over multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end.

Advantages

This AOC provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential connection points. Compatibility with QSFP28 ports and support for 100 Gbit/s applications ensure consistent throughput for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. The fixed 30 m length simplifies planning for rack-to-rack or row-to-row links while active components maintain signal integrity over the multimode fibre path.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre switch-to-switch connections
• Interconnects within high-performance computing clusters
• Storage area network links requiring 100 Gbit/s bandwidth
• Short-reach optical links where QSFP28 ports are available

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on compatible switches, routers or storage devices. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the equipment vendor if connecting live. Verify link status through device management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and protocol (for example, 100GBASE-SR4 or Fibre Channel over Ethernet). For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable and secure the cable to prevent movement that could stress connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m QSFP28 AOC for structured rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections inside controlled data centre environments. Keep multimode patching and breakout requirements in mind and verify hardware compatibility with your vendor documentation before deployment. For best signal integrity, maintain recommended minimum bend radii and protect the connectors with dust caps when not in use.
