BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-30M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 30 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable designed for 100G interconnects in data center and high-performance networking environments. Featuring QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable provides a direct, low-latency connection for switches, servers and storage systems that support InfiniBand or QSFP28 form-factor ports. Its fixed-length optical construction eliminates the need for transceivers and simplifies high-density rack cabling while maintaining signal integrity for 100 gigabit links.

Advantages

This 30m AOC delivers high-bandwidth 100G performance with low power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration enables plug-and-play deployment in compatible ports, reducing installation time. Active optical design ensures stable signal quality over the full 30-metre span, offering immunity to electromagnetic interference and improved thermal characteristics for dense equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and servers within data centre racks
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric interconnects
• 100G uplinks between aggregation and core network devices
• Short- to mid-range optical links inside wiring closets and equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 30 m
• Application: InfiniBand / QSFP28-compatible 100G links
• Immunity: Not affected by electromagnetic interference (optical transmission)

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and are powered off or in a safe state per the equipment manufacturer’s guidance before insertion. Align the QSFP28 connector keys with the port and push firmly until the latch engages. After connection, power on devices and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. For removal, follow the reverse procedure: release the QSFP latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid stress on ports and fibres.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Route the cable to prevent kinking and secure it to reduce mechanical strain. Use in indoor, climate-controlled data centre or equipment-room environments and avoid exposure to liquids or direct sunlight. For best results, verify compatibility with host equipment firmware and driver requirements when deploying in mixed-vendor environments.
