AOC kábel BlueOptics AOC-Q28-100G-5M-BO 5 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The AOC Cable BlueOptics AOC-Q28-100G-5M-BO is a 5 m active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It supports 100G transmission over multi-mode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end and conforms to QSFP28 MSA-compatible interfaces for straightforward connectivity with compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics active optical cable offers a compact, low-latency connection optimized for short-reach 100G links at a 5 m length. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies direct connections between QSFP28 ports without the need for separate transceivers or patch panels. Built to meet industry-compatible specifications, the cable supports common high-speed protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet, enabling stable and efficient transmission in populated rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Data center switches, routers and storage systems with QSFP28 ports
• Low-latency Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications

Key specifications

• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Medium: active optical cable using multi-mode fiber with integrated Tx/Rx
• Compatibility: QSFP28 MSA-compatible interfaces for use with equipment that supports QSFP28 AOCs

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 connector to the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switch, router or storage device. Ensure both devices support QSFP28 active optical cables and the intended 100G protocol (for example 100GBASE-SR4 or compatible high-speed protocols). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the cable is plug-and-play when used with compatible hardware and typically does not require additional configuration beyond verifying link and protocol settings on connected devices.

Recommendations

Install the cable in a clean environment and avoid tight bending radii to preserve optical performance. Verify device compatibility lists for QSFP28 AOC support and confirm firmware or driver requirements on network equipment when deploying at 100G speeds.
