Aktiivinen optinen kaapeli CBO 100G QSFP28 5 m Huawei

The Active Optical Cable CBO 100G QSFP28 5m for Huawei is a 5-metre QSFP28 AOC designed to deliver 100Gbps connectivity between compatible QSFP28 ports. Manufactured by BlueOptics for use with Huawei equipment, this cable uses optical signalling to minimise electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity over the specified short-reach distance. It is intended for installations where a compact, low-latency 100G link is required and where optical connection reliability and reduced heat generation are priorities.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable combines high data throughput with low power consumption and minimal electromagnetic emissions. The optical medium ensures stable transmission at 100Gbps with reduced signal degradation compared with long copper solutions at similar distances. The QSFP28 form factor supports hot-pluggable installation into QSFP28 ports and simplifies deployment for modern data-centre switch and server architectures. Compatibility with Huawei equipment is a design consideration to ensure proper link negotiation and performance in supported systems.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch high-speed links within racks and adjacent racks
• Short-reach optical communications where 100G bandwidth and low latency are required
• Environments that require reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP28 optical connector
• Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregate
• Length: 5 metres
• Medium: active optical fibre with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive network applications
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent active copper solutions for the same reach

How to use

Install the QSFP28 ends into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on compatible Huawei devices or other supported equipment. Ensure both link endpoints are powered and configured to support 100G operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or kinks in the optical fibre section; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. For hot-plug operations, insert or remove the module with device ports active only if the host system supports hot-swapping. Verify link status through the host device management interface after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the Active Optical Cable away from sources of physical stress and keep the connectors free from dust. Use in applications within the specified 5 m reach and validate compatibility with your Huawei hardware and firmware levels before deployment to ensure full 100G operation.
