BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 1m konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100G high-speed links. It implements QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connectivity for short-reach multimode fibre applications and integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules at each end to carry optical signals in accordance with 100GBASE-SR4 and compatible InfiniBand protocols. The cable is intended for use in data centre and high-performance computing environments where reliable, low-latency 100G interconnects are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a plug-and-play QSFP28 interface that simplifies installation and reduces the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Active optical construction offers reduced weight and improved signal integrity compared with long copper assemblies for comparable distances, while supporting standard 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand transport. Manufacturer compatibility with widely used networking platforms ensures predictable behaviour in systems that support the referenced QSFP28 AOC form factor.

Suitable for

• 100G switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• Interconnects between routers and aggregation devices
• Server-to-top-of-rack or end-of-row high-performance computing links
• Short-reach InfiniBand fabric links and cluster interconnects

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends (male)
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s per cable for supported protocols
• Optical type: active optical cable with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Compatible physical layer: 100GBASE-SR4 and compatible InfiniBand short-reach profiles
• Fibre: multimode optical link suitable for short-distance campus and rack-level interconnects

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap guidelines of your networking equipment if required by the vendor. Remove protective dust caps from both QSFP28 connectors and insert each end into the corresponding QSFP28 ports until the latch engages. Confirm link status using the host device management interface and verify negotiated speed and lane configuration. For removal, disengage the QSFP28 latch and gently pull the connector straight out to avoid bending the cable. Observe equipment vendor instructions regarding supported cable types and any platform-specific compatibility notes.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Use the cable within typical data centre ambient temperature ranges and avoid exposure to liquids and contaminants. Verify platform compatibility with QSFP28 active optical cables prior to deployment and test links after installation to confirm expected 100G operation.
