AOC kábel BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-50M-BO 50 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-50M-BO is a 50-meter active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data transmission. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects commonly required in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The single-cable design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, providing a compact, factory-terminated optical link suitable for short- to medium-reach connections within racks and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

The cable offers high bandwidth and signal integrity for 100G links while reducing power consumption compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber assemblies. Factory-terminated optical fibers and integrated electronics ensure consistent performance and simplify installation. At 50 meters, the cable provides flexible reach for typical data center topologies without additional cabling infrastructure. Its QSFP28 male-to-male connection delivers straightforward compatibility with switches, routers, and network interface cards that accept QSFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-switch links
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections within short to medium reach
• Environments requiring compact, low-power optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Length: 50 m
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical application: Short- to medium-reach data center interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 ports and 100G operation before installation. Route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors. Align each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding port and insert until the latch engages; confirm a secure connection indicator on the connected devices if available. No field termination is required—use the cable as a factory-terminated optical link. For removal, disengage the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector housings, keep optical interfaces covered when not in use, and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer to preserve signal performance. Verify firmware and port settings on networking equipment for 100G operation and monitor link status after installation.
