AOC kábel BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-1M-BO 1 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-1M-BO is a 1 meter active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections. Fitted with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand links and is intended for use in data center racks, switch-to-switch links, and high-performance computing environments where low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers the high data rates of 100G with the ease of a direct-attached solution, removing the need for separate transceivers. Its 1 m length minimizes clutter in dense rack deployments while maintaining signal integrity over short distances. The QSFP28 connector form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 ports and offers a compact, energy-efficient alternative to copper for high-speed links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections in high-performance computing racks
• InfiniBand interconnects for accelerated computing clusters
• Data center top-of-rack and spine-leaf architectures requiring 1 m passive routing

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Maximum supported data rate: 100 Gbps
• Nominal length: 1 meter
• Typical applications: 100G Ethernet, InfiniBand
• Interface polarity: bidirectional high-speed lanes per QSFP28 standard

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. Verify that connected equipment recognizes the link and that port LEDs or management interfaces report a 100G link state. No external power or separate transceivers are required, but ensure both endpoints support QSFP28-based AOC connections and the same speed. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connector to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Install the cable in rack environments with minimum bend radius observed and keep it away from sources of mechanical stress. Confirm firmware and port settings on switches or NICs for 100G operation and use the 1 m length for short, direct connections to reduce latency and maintain clean cable management.
