BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 25m Male/Male

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-25M-BO is a 25-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100G high-speed links in data center and high-performance computing environments. This InfiniBand-compatible cable implements 100GBASE-SR4 transmission over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver electronics on each module, providing a pre-assembled, plug-and-play optical connection for switches, routers and servers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a factory-assembled QSFP28-to-QSFP28 link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector-related attenuation and simplifying deployment and maintenance. The cable is manufactured to MSA-compliant QSFP28 AOC specifications and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for remote status and performance information such as supply voltage, laser bias, output/received power and temperature. Built with multimode optical transmission and integrated optics, it delivers EMI-immune data transfer and consistent 100G performance across the 25 m reach.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and servers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabric links
• 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other 100G high-speed applications over 25 m

Key specifications

• Length: 25 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male/male)
• Transmission standard: 100GBASE-SR4 over multimode fiber
• Integrated active optical modules with transmitter and receiver per end
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472 compatible)
• Multimode fiber optical link with EMI immunity

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-25M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 module into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Verify that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM functions if you intend to monitor diagnostics. No additional transceivers or patching is required; the cable is ready for immediate use once both ends are seated and the devices are configured for 100G operation.

Recommendations

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 AOC connections and relevant line protocols (100GBASE-SR4, Ethernet or Fibre Channel) before deployment. Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid tight bends and keep connector interfaces free of dust. If using DDM/DOM monitoring, confirm that your equipment firmware exposes the diagnostic registers to take advantage of real-time status data.
