BlueOptics IBM 01FT724 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC), 100GBASE-SR4, 10 m

The BlueOptics IBM 01FT724 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand connectivity. Designed to be compatible with IBM 01FT724, this plug-and-play cable integrates QSFP28 transceivers at both ends, eliminating the need for separate optics and fiber patch cables. It delivers reliable, low-latency data transmission over multimode fiber at distances up to 10 meters, making it ideal for data center interconnects and high-performance networking environments.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional transceiver and cable assemblies. It reduces installation complexity, minimizes signal loss, and ensures consistent performance. The hot-swappable design allows for easy deployment and maintenance without network downtime. With low power consumption (typically less than 4.5W) and full MSA compliance, it provides a future-proof solution for high-speed networks.
