BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC50M-HU-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 50 m aqua

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC50M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m Aqua is a 50-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable implements a 100GBASE-SR4 compatible design and integrates transceivers on each end to transmit optical signals over multimode fibre. It is designed to be used where reliable 100 Gbps links over short distances are required and is offered in an aqua jacket for easy identification in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection that removes the need for separate transceiver modules and fibre patching, simplifying installation and reducing connector loss. Its active design with built-in transmitters and receivers supports protocol-aware signal conversion for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 100 Gbps. The 50 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections inside racks and across short data centre aisles.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Storage systems requiring 100 Gbps short-range connectivity
• Environments that benefit from pre-terminated, active optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Length: 50 metres
• Fibre type: multimode fibre (MSA-compatible 100GBASE-SR4 operation)
• Colour/jacket: aqua

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switches, routers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected equipment is powered and configured for 100 Gbps operation. No separate transceivers or patch cables are required; the cable contains the required optical transceivers. Manage cable routing to avoid excessive bending and to maintain minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC50M-HU-BO for short-reach, high-bandwidth links within racks or across adjacent racks. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and confirm that target devices officially support compatible 100G-QSFP28 AOC connections. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors.
