AOC-kaapeli BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-100G-3M-BO 3 m QSFP28 liitin/liitin

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-100G-3M-BO is a 3 meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed 100G serial links. Designed for data center and high-performance computing environments, this cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity in a compact, fixed-length form factor. Its active optical design reduces electrical interference and power consumption compared with equivalent copper assemblies while enabling reliable short-reach connections between networking equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics active optical cable provides predictable 100G performance with QSFP28 interfaces and a lightweight, flexible cable assembly that simplifies routing in dense racks. The optical transmission ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports stable signal integrity over the 3 m reach. Its plug-and-play QSFP28 male terminations allow straightforward installation without additional transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying inventory management.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers in data center topologies
• Direct connections between servers and high-performance computing nodes
• Short-reach 100G uplinks and aggregation links in rack and row deployments
• High-density cabling scenarios where space and cable management are important

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbps serial
• Length: 3 meters
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber with integrated electronics
• Typical application: Short-reach data center interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding port on your switch, router or server and gently inserting until the connector latches. No separate transceivers or cable termination is required. Verify link status and module recognition in the host device management interface; depending on system firmware, the cable may present vendor information to the host. For safe operation, avoid tight bends and protect connectors from contamination when not in use.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, route the cable with gentle bend radii, avoid crushing or kinking, and keep connector endfaces clean. Use this 3 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach 100G links inside racks or between adjacent racks; ensure compatibility with equipment firmware that supports QSFP28 AOC modules and verify link negotiation after installation.
