AOC kábel BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M-BO 30 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M-BO is a 30-metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors in a male-to-male configuration designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. This cable supports 100G connectivity over a 30m distance, combining the signal integrity of optical links with the convenience of a fixed-cable assembly to simplify interconnects between switches, servers and other compatible equipment.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable reduces electromagnetic interference and offers predictable low latency compared with equivalent copper solutions. Its factory-terminated QSFP28 connectors eliminate the need for onsite fibre termination and alignment, while the 30 m length provides flexible placement for racks and equipment within server rooms and colocation spaces. The integrated optical transceivers and passive housing reduce the number of separate components to manage and help maintain consistent 100G performance.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server interconnects
• Top-of-rack to aggregation layer links in enterprise network racks
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area network connections
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links over short-to-medium distances

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 30 metres
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling
• Suitable for multi-lane 100G applications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M-BO by connecting each QSFP28 plug to the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment manufacturer as required. Verify link status and configuration on connected devices after insertion; most systems will automatically recognize the AOC as a 100G optical link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for the optical assembly.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the fiber assembly. Keep connectors clean and capped when not in use. For optimal performance, verify firmware and port configuration on network equipment to ensure compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and maintain proper airflow and rack management to prevent overheating of adjacent components.
