BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 7 m QSFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7 m active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. It supports 100G data rates over multimode fibre and uses an aqua-coloured jacket to visually identify the link while conforming to QSFP28 MSA mechanical and electrical form-factor standards.

Advantages

This QSFP28-to-QSFP28 active optical cable provides a factory-assembled, plug-and-play connection that eliminates the need for field splicing or connector termination. As an active optical cable, it integrates transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 modules, enabling reliable 100GBASE-SR4/InfiniBand-compatible links over multimode fibre. The preassembled design reduces insertion loss and simplifies installation and maintenance compared with separately patched fibre assemblies.

Suitable for

• 100G interconnects between switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Server-to-top-of-rack and switch-to-switch short-reach links
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects requiring 100G optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (both ends)
• Length: 7 metres
• Transmission media: multimode optical fibre (active optical cable)
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Form factor: QSFP28 MSA compliant
• Colour: aqua jacket for easy identification
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM monitoring when host hardware supports the feature

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701-BO by aligning and inserting each QSFP28 module into the QSFP28 receptacles of the devices to be connected. Ensure the host devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and any required firmware or compatibility settings. After insertion, verify link status and, if applicable, read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to confirm optical power, temperature and other diagnostics. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid excessive bends or tensile stress on the cable assembly during routing.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable with a bend radius that exceeds the manufacturer’s minimum for active optical assemblies, avoid tight coils, and ensure adequate airflow around equipment. Confirm device compatibility for QSFP28 AOCs and enable DDM/DOM support in the host system if optical diagnostics are required.
