CBO QSFP28 BlueOptics 740-061411-BO 10 m konektor samec-na-konektor samec 100 Gbit/s

The CBO QSFP28 BlueOptics 740-061411-BO is an active copper cable 10 m in length designed for 100 Gbit/s links between devices with QSFP28 ports. Intended for short-reach interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks, this male-to-male cable provides a direct, high-throughput connection for rack-to-rack and intra-rack links between switches, routers and servers. The cable supports low-latency signal transmission and is built to integrate with standard QSFP28 interfaces without additional transceivers.

Advantages

This active QSFP28 copper cable delivers 100 Gbit/s throughput over a 10 m span with lower power consumption compared with some optical alternatives for similar short-reach scenarios. Its male-to-male QSFP28 connectors allow plug-and-play deployment in QSFP28 ports, reducing installation steps and equipment requirements. The cable design minimizes signal loss and latency, making it suitable for environments where predictable performance and compact cabling are required.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbit/s interconnects between switches within data center racks
• Direct server-to-switch or router-to-switch connections where QSFP28 ports are available
• High-throughput, low-latency links for virtualization and storage networks
• Intra-rack and adjacent-rack cabling where a 10 m active copper solution is preferred

Key specifications

• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Cable type: active copper (Direct Attach Copper, DAC)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: QSFP28 male-to-male
• Use case: short-reach, rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects
• Typical applications: switches, routers, servers with QSFP28 ports

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the devices to be connected until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected devices are powered and configured to enable the 100 Gbit/s interface. No additional optical transceivers are required; the active cable handles signal conditioning internally. Verify link status through the network equipment management interface and, if necessary, check port settings for speed and lane configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the cable in environments within the operating temperature and humidity ranges specified by equipment manufacturers, maintain strain relief at connector ends, and avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable. Use the 10 m active copper option for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent racks where cost-effective, low-latency connectivity is required.
