BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A30M-BO InfiniBand/optický kábel 30 m QSFP28 oranžový

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A30M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m QSFP28 Orange is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links in data centres and networking environments, it supports 100G transmission over multi-mode fibre and is compatible with devices that accept QSFP28 SR4 AOC modules. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 housings to provide a single-cable solution for short-reach 100G interconnections.

Advantages

The cable offers high data throughput and low latency suitable for demanding networking tasks while maintaining plug-and-play simplicity through QSFP28 connectors that follow common MSA conventions. Being an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and enables longer reach at 100G over multi-mode fibre. Its 30 m length covers typical in-rack and cross-rack connections in modern data centre layouts.

Suitable for

• 100G links between switches and routers within data centres
• High-performance compute clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Server-to-switch and storage connectivity requiring short-reach 100G
• Environments needing low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links

Key specifications

• Transmission type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) using multi-mode fibre
• Nominal data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Cable length: 30 metres
• Supported applications: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET at 100G
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A30M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 plug into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking equipment that officially supports QSFP28 AOCs. Ensure ports are powered down or follow your equipment vendor's hot-plug guidelines if applicable. Verify link status and configure the devices for 100G operation according to the switch or host documentation. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required when using this direct AOC connection.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor and firmware releases before deployment. Handle the QSFP28 connectors by the housing, avoid bending the cable below manufacturer-recommended bend radius, and store the cable coiled without tight kinks to preserve optical performance.
