BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand-kuitu kaapeli 7m uros/uros

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-7M-BO is a 7-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet links. It implements the 100GBASE-SR4 multimode optical interface and integrates transceivers and optical fiber in a pre-assembled, plug-and-play form factor. The cable supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input power, and temperature.

Advantages

This QSFP28-to-QSFP28 AOC provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for data center, storage and high-performance computing environments. Being pre-assembled eliminates the need for separate patch cords and reduces insertion loss and cleaning requirements. The cable is manufactured to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) QSFP28 AOC standards and uses qualified components for extended operational lifetime. The integrated DDM/DOM support facilitates remote monitoring and troubleshooting of optical links.

Suitable for

• 100G Ethernet links (100GBASE-SR4) in switches and routers
• InfiniBand high-performance computing interconnects
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors
• Length: 7 metres
• Supported protocols: 100GBASE-SR4, Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET (where interfaces support AOC)
• Fiber: multimode optics with integrated transmitters and receivers
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• MSA compliance: QSFP28 AOC mechanical/electrical/functional compatibility
• Environmental/industry compliance: CE and RoHS where applicable

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 7 m QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices while ensuring the module latches are engaged. Confirm that the host hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM in the management interface to read diagnostic values. No additional patching or fiber polishing is needed because the cable is pre-assembled; handle connectors by the housing to avoid contamination and follow standard ESD precautions during installation.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage platform prior to deployment, enable digital diagnostics if supported by the host, and route the 7 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. For critical links, consider keeping a tested spare on-site and perform periodic checks of diagnostic parameters to detect early signs of degradation.
