BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 1 m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed interconnects in data center and enterprise networking environments, this cable supports 100G data rates and offers a compact, low-latency connection between switches, servers and storage systems. The AOC design integrates optical transceivers in the cable ends, eliminating the need for separate pluggable modules and simplifying installations where short-reach, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This AOC provides native 100G bandwidth with low signal loss and minimal electromagnetic interference due to its optical design. The 1 m length reduces clutter and helps maintain tidy rack layouts while ensuring short-reach connectivity between adjacent equipment. QSFP28-to-QSFP28 termination maintains compatibility with standard 100G ports and supports high-density configurations common in modern data centers. The integrated transceiver design lowers power consumption and simplifies procurement and inventory management compared with separate optics and cables.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in rack and row top-of-rack deployments
• Switch-to-switch links for spine/leaf architectures
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand fabrics requiring low latency
• Short-reach connections between storage arrays and compute nodes

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Compatibility: Designed for QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand/100G Ethernet environments

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and inserting until the latch engages. No separate transceiver modules are required because the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends. Verify link status on connected devices and perform any necessary port configuration on switches or hosts to enable the 100G interface. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the 1 m length for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances select an appropriately rated cable. Keep connectors clean and protect unused ends with dust caps to maintain signal integrity.
