Aktiivinen optinen kaapeli CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L20M 100G 20 m

Active Optical Cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L20M 100G 20 m is a pre-terminated QSFP28 AOC that provides 100 gigabit per second connectivity over a 20-metre duplex fiber link. The cable integrates optical transceivers into a single, fixed-length assembly to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth links without separate pluggable modules. It is designed for short-reach data center interconnects and high-speed networking between switches, servers and network appliances.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers a compact, vendor-compatible connectivity option that reduces installation time and eliminates the need for separate transceivers. The integrated optical design minimizes electrical-to-optical conversion points, which helps lower latency and improves signal integrity for 100G links. Its fixed length and factory-terminated fiber simplify cabling management in dense rack environments and help maintain consistent performance across connections.

Suitable for

• Switch-to-switch 100G interconnects within data halls or across adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch high-speed uplinks and aggregation links
• Connecting network appliances, such as load balancers and firewalls, to 100G ports
• Short-reach connections where a fixed-length, low-latency optical link is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbps (aggregate)
• Medium: duplex multimode fiber (integrated AOC assembly)
• Length: 20 metres
• Typical application: short-range data center interconnects and top-of-rack aggregation
• Form factor: active optical cable with integrated optical modules

How to use

Install the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices, ensuring ports are powered off or follow hot‑plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer. Verify port compatibility and supported 100G modes in the device documentation before connecting. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and secure it to cable management structures to maintain bend radius and airflow. Once connected, enable or configure the link on network devices according to normal interface setup procedures and verify link status and performance in the management interface.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for short-reach 100G links in controlled data center environments. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, heat, or physical strain. Confirm device compatibility for QSFP28 AOC assemblies and follow vendor guidance on supported link modes to ensure reliable operation.
