BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A7M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 7 m QSFP28 oranžový

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP28 Orange is a 7-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 multimode transmission and integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to deliver reliable optical signal transfer over multimode fibre. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor conventions and is intended for use with network, storage and compute hardware that accepts QSFP28 AOC connections.

Advantages

The cable provides consistent 100 Gbit/s aggregate throughput using four lanes of multimode optics and is built for short-reach, high-density interconnects. Its AOC design eliminates separate transceiver modules and patch cords, reducing connector bulk and improving signal integrity. The orange outer jacket and QSFP28 connector housing make it easy to identify in dense cabling environments, while the integrated transceivers reduce system configuration steps compared with discrete transceiver plus fibre solutions.

Suitable for

• 100 Gbit/s server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects using InfiniBand or Ethernet
• Short-reach storage area network links and aggregation panels
• High-density rack cabling where QSFP28 ports are available

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Length: 7 metres
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s aggregate (4×25 Gbit/s lanes)
• Transmission: 100GBASE-SR4 over multimode fibre
• Form factor: Active Optical Cable (integrated Tx/Rx modules)
• Jacket colour: orange for easy identification

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 plug to the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switches, routers, servers or storage devices while the systems are powered off or according to your equipment hot-plugging guidance. Ensure port configurations (protocol, speed and lane mapping) match the 100GBASE-SR4 or supported InfiniBand/Ethernet settings on connected devices. Verify link status through device management interfaces and perform basic diagnostics such as optical lane status if provided by your hardware.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and protect the connector latches during installation. Use appropriate cable management in racks and patch panels to prevent strain and maintain multimode fibre bend-radius requirements. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's supported AOC list if device-level validation is required.
