BlueOptics 10435-BO InfiniBand sklenené optické vlákno kábel 7 m QSFP28 akvamarínová

The BlueOptics 10435-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP28 Aqua is a 7-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed 100G data transmission over multimode fibre in data centre and networking environments. It implements a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection and supports protocols commonly used in modern networks, providing an assembled fibre solution that removes the need for separate transceivers and patching for short-range 100G links.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC is manufactured to MSA-compatible QSFP28 standards and contains optical transmitters and receivers integrated in each connector, enabling reliable simultaneous send and receive operation. The cable is factory-terminated and pre-tested for interoperability with major networking hardware that supports 100G QSFP28 AOCs, reducing installation time and potential connector contamination. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability provides real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature when supported by host hardware, facilitating troubleshooting and link management.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and routers within data centres
• High-speed InfiniBand links in server and storage interconnects
• Interconnects for storage arrays, aggregation switches and top-of-rack deployments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors
• Length: 7 metres
• Connector gender: male-to-male QSFP28
• Fibre type: multimode optical transmission (factory-assembled)
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s per link
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: supported when host hardware enables DDM/DOM

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10435-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on compatible switches, routers or network adapters, ensuring the connector latch engages. No separate transceivers are required; the cable is pre-terminated and ready for plug-and-play operation. Verify that connected devices support QSFP28 AOCs and, if you intend to use digital diagnostic monitoring, confirm that the host equipment exposes DDM/DOM information. Handle the cable along gentle bend radii and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling during installation.

Recommendations

Use this 7 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach 100G interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks. Maintain clean port interfaces and route the cable to avoid mechanical stress; confirm compatibility with your hardware firmware to ensure full feature availability such as DDM/DOM.
