BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M-H3-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 20m stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M-H3-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20m Male is a 20‑metre active optical cable engineered for high‑speed data transmission over short to medium distances. Equipped with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this assembly supports 100 Gigabit class links and is designed for use in data centres, server racks and high‑performance computing clusters where low latency and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable provides a compact and lightweight alternative to copper cabling while delivering high bandwidth and low power consumption. The pre‑terminated design with integrated optics simplifies installation, eliminates field termination and reduces signal loss compared with multimode copper solutions. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of network equipment across racks and rows without additional transceivers or adapters.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and servers in data centres
• High‑performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Top‑of‑rack to end‑of‑row connections within server rooms
• Low‑latency storage area network (SAN) links and aggregation paths

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (both ends male)
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s class link (QSFP28)
• Length: 20 metres
• Intended application: InfiniBand and high‑speed Ethernet interconnects
• Physical form factor: Pre‑terminated duplex optical assembly with integrated transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure that both ends are seated properly and that device firmware or software recognises the link. No field termination is required; the integrated optics are factory‑calibrated for the specified length. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress and secure it to cable management hardware within racks to maintain airflow and accessibility.

Recommendations

Use this 20 m QSFP28 AOC for short‑to‑medium distance links inside data centre environments where predictable latency and high throughput are necessary. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 ports and supported link speeds before deployment. Avoid exposure to temperatures or mechanical strain outside the manufacturer's specified operating range and follow standard ESD precautions when handling connector ends.
