BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 m active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. It supports 100G data rates over multimode fibre using a QSFP28 to QSFP28 interface that follows MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) guidelines. The cable integrates transmitters and receivers in each connector and provides a pre-assembled, factory-terminated link that reduces the need for on-site patching or connector cleaning.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics AOC offers high throughput and low latency for short-reach links in data centers, combining QSFP28 connectivity with digital diagnostics support to monitor key optical parameters. Compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP28 AOCs. The pre-terminated active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and eliminates attenuation variations caused by field-terminated fiber connectors.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between QSFP28 ports in switches and routers
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data center racks
• High-bandwidth InfiniBand or Ethernet interconnects within confined cabling runs

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbps
• Optical type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) over multimode fibre
• MSA-compliant QSFP28 electrical and mechanical interface
• Support for digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Verify that the hosting equipment supports QSFP28 AOCs and the intended 100G protocol (e.g., 100G Ethernet or InfiniBand). If the devices provide DDM/DOM data, use the management interface to monitor supply voltage, laser current, output and received optical power, and module temperature. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended bend radii and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Confirm hardware compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and enable or check DDM/DOM support on your devices for remote diagnostics. Route and secure the 1 m AOC in rack environments to prevent sharp bends and connector strain; store and handle the cable by the connector housings when unplugging.
