BlueOptics 00MP566-BO InfiniBand/sklenené vlákno kábel 50 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics 00MP566-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for 100G high-speed links over multimode fiber, the cable integrates transceivers at each end that handle optical transmission and reception according to MSA-compliant QSFP28 and 100GBASE-SR4 interfaces. It is intended for data center and enterprise networking equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOC connections and supports 100G multi-lane short-reach applications.

Advantages

The cable provides a single, pre-assembled optical link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching, reducing installation time and potential insertion loss. Built to MSA QSFP28/100GBASE-SR4 compatibility guidelines, it supports up to 100 Gbps aggregated throughput across the multimode fiber lanes and includes active components for signal conditioning. The integrated design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and enables consistent optical performance over the 50 m reach.

Suitable for

• 100G QSFP28 interconnects between switches and routers in data centers
• High-throughput links for storage systems and SANs
• Short-reach aggregation or spine-leaf connections up to 50 metres
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and low latency optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported interface: 100GBASE-SR4 / QSFP28 MSA-compliant
• Transmission: Bi-directional optical transmission with transmitters and receivers on each end
• Typical application: Short-reach 100 Gbps multimode optical links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages. Verify that the target devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and the 100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent 4-lane multimode profile. After insertion, confirm link status and speed through the host device management interface. For monitoring of optical parameters, enable DDM/DOM in devices that support it to read supply voltage, module temperature and optical power metrics if available.

Recommendations

Use the cable in managed rack environments or cable trays that avoid tight bends; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Confirm compatibility with the exact device models and firmware that declare support for QSFP28 AOC modules and 100GBASE-SR4 operation. Where digital diagnostics are required, ensure the host device exposes DDM/DOM data for the module.
