BlueOptics BO282803L10M QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Infiniband EDR aktiivinen optinen kaapeli 10 m

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics BO282803L10M QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Infiniband EDR 10m is a 10-meter duplex multimode AOC designed for short-reach 100 Gb/s interconnects. The cable integrates QSFP28 connectors and an optical transceiver assembly to deliver 100GBASE-SR4 data rates with low latency and high bandwidth. It is intended for use in data centers, high-performance computing clusters and switch-to-switch connections where reliable, high-speed links are required.

Advantages

The AOC eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords by combining optical modules and fiber in a single assembly, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. With QSFP28 connectivity and multimode fiber, it supports 100 Gb/s links while maintaining low power consumption and minimal signal loss over the specified 10 m reach. The integrated design improves cable management and reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on connected devices until the latch engages. Ensure that devices are compatible with QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 or Infiniband EDR interfaces and that ports are powered and configured for the correct data rate. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid sharp bends along the cable body to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Verify interoperability with your network equipment vendor and check port configuration before deployment. Maintain bend radius as specified by the manufacturer and avoid compressing or kinking the cable. Use AOC links for short-distance, high-bandwidth requirements within racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances, consider appropriate fiber transceivers and cabling.
