BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-10M-BO is a 10‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high‑speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet links. The pre‑terminated AOC integrates optical transmitter and receiver electronics at each end and uses multi‑mode fiber to deliver low‑latency, high‑bandwidth data transmission across a 10 m channel. It follows QSFP28 MSA mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

This 10 m QSFP28 AOC delivers 100G data rates with reduced electromagnetic interference susceptibility compared to copper alternatives, and it eliminates the need for field termination or patchcord cleaning. Built to MSA QSFP28 form‑factor standards, the cable includes integrated optics and diagnostics and is suitable for short‑reach, high‑density interconnects in data centre environments. The male‑to‑male QSFP28 termination simplifies direct connections between compatible switches, routers, and storage devices while minimizing insertion loss and latency.

Suitable for

• High‑density switch‑to‑switch, switch‑to‑router or switch‑to‑storage connections within data centres
• 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand short‑reach interconnects up to 10 metres
• Environments requiring pre‑assembled, plug‑and‑play optical links to avoid patching or fibre polishing

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Length: 10 metres
• Supported data rates: up to 100G (QSFP28 / 100GBASE‑SR4 / InfiniBand applications)
• Fiber: multi‑mode optical transmission for short‑reach links
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM‑style monitoring when supported by host hardware

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your compatible devices until the latch engages. Verify that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and any diagnostic features you intend to use. After connection, check link status on the host devices and monitor diagnostic information via the system interface if supported. No field termination or additional fibre handling is required; handle the cable by the strain‑relief areas and avoid sharp bends to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this BlueOptics 10 m QSFP28 AOC in environments with compatible QSFP28 ports, avoid tight bending radii or heavy mechanical stress on the cable, and confirm host hardware support for digital diagnostics if remote monitoring is required.
