BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 30m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and networking environments. This male-to-male QSFP28 AOC uses multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers on each connector end to support short-reach 100G applications and InfiniBand interconnects while maintaining compatibility with industry MSA QSFP28 interfaces.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC offers compact, low-power connectivity for 100G links over a 30 m distance. The integrated transceivers simplify installation compared with separate transceivers and fibre patching, reducing connection points and potential signal loss. Designed for use in rack and data centre topologies, the cable provides consistent signal quality and a neat, single-cable solution for high-density switch, router or storage interconnects.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server high-speed links
• 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand short-reach interconnects
• High-density networking and storage system connections inside racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fibre
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 metres
• Supported data rates: up to 100 Gbps per link (short-reach applications)
• Application protocols: 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand compatible operation

How to use

Plug each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking equipment following the vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Ensure ports are powered down or follow recommended insertion procedures from the equipment manufacturer if required. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for optical AOC assemblies. After physical connection, verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and confirm proper negotiation for 100G or InfiniBand operation.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC for short-reach 100G and InfiniBand links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid routing near strong electromagnetic sources and protect the connectors from dust when not in use. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s QSFP28 ports and follow device-specific documentation for supported cable types and link configuration.
