BlueOptics 100G-AOC-QSFP10M-TA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics 100G-AOC-QSFP10M-TA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m QSFP28 is a 10-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. It is designed to deliver 100 Gbps class connectivity for short-reach links within data centres, server racks and high-performance computing clusters. The cable supports InfiniBand protocols and provides a plug-and-play alternative to discrete transceivers plus patch fibre for direct device-to-device interconnects where low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable combines high data rate capability with compact QSFP28 connectivity, enabling simplified cabling and reduced port module requirements. Its 10 m length allows flexible placement of equipment across racks while maintaining signal integrity over short distances. The integrated optical interfaces eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing overall hardware complexity and streamlining installation and maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices, ensuring the latch engages and the connector is fully seated. No external transceivers or additional patch fibre are required. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and link health in the host or switch diagnostics. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and withdraw straight to avoid damaging the port. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m AOC for intra-rack and adjacent-rack links where 100 Gbps throughput and low latency are required. Maintain bend radius recommendations from equipment vendors, keep connectors free from dust and contamination, and store unused ends with protective caps. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm QSFP28 and InfiniBand compatibility in device documentation before deployment.
