InfiniBand/optický kábel BlueOptics 470-ADYB-BO QSFP28 AOC 2 m Aqua

The BlueOptics 470-ADYB-BO QSFP28 AOC 2 m Aqua is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fiber-optic connections. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends and a 2 m length, this aqua-coloured cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 applications and is intended for direct, short-reach links between network devices such as switches, routers and storage systems. The cable implements optical transmit and receive functions and is built to MSA-compliant QSFP28 specifications for interoperability with common hardware platforms.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC offers high-bandwidth, low-latency optical transmission without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense data center environments. The cable’s active optical design enables 100 Gbps transmission over multimode fiber within the specified short-reach distance while maintaining signal integrity. Built from components selected for reliability and tested for compatibility, the cable targets long service life and stable operation under continuous load.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between rack-mounted switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Interconnects in storage arrays and SAN environments
• Connections between adjacent racks in data centers

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Aqua
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber with optical laser transmit/receive channels
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support for monitoring voltage, temperature and optical power (requires host support)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting the QSFP28 connector into the QSFP28 port of each device until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support QSFP28 modules and the appropriate 100GBASE-SR4 link settings. For DDM/DOM monitoring, enable the diagnostics feature in the host device if supported by the platform. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and protect it from mechanical stress; the active electronics are integrated in the cable assemblies and do not require separate power or configuration beyond host recognition.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack links where short-reach 100G connectivity is required. Maintain recommended bend radius and avoid compressive forces on the connectors. Verify host compatibility and firmware support for DDM/DOM if optical diagnostics are needed.
