AOC Cable BlueOptics 100FRRL0100-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m Blue

The AOC Cable BlueOptics 100FRRL0100-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m Blue is an active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data center environments. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends and a 10 m length, this BlueOptics AOC supports short- to medium-range links between switches, servers and storage systems that use InfiniBand or compatible QSFP28 ports. The cable combines optical transmission with a durable outer construction and stainless-steel elements for stable physical performance while maintaining a professional blue finish.

Advantages

This AOC cable provides high-bandwidth connectivity with low latency suitable for InfiniBand infrastructures. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration enables straightforward plug-and-play installation without the need for separate transceivers. Its 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while keeping signal integrity over the optical link. The materials and stainless-steel components improve mechanical robustness and help ensure consistent performance in demanding network deployments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and host adapters
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Server-to-server or server-to-storage connections in data centers
• Short- to medium-range optical links where QSFP28 ports are available

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Cable length: 10 m
• Weight: 0.15 kg
• Colour and finish: Blue with stainless-steel elements

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and are powered down or in a state recommended by the equipment vendor for cable insertion. Align the QSFP28 connector keys with the port, insert the connector until it seats securely, and verify the link status using the network equipment management interface or indicator LEDs. For removal, follow the vendor procedure to avoid mechanical strain on the connector and cable. No separate optical transceivers are required because the cable integrates the optical modules within the QSFP28 connectors.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fibers. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use and verify compatibility with your InfiniBand or QSFP28-capable equipment before deployment. Use the 10 m length for rack-to-rack or adjacent rack connections where active optical performance is needed.
