BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this multi-mode AOC supports 100G data rates and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor standards. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the transceivers, enabling direct optical link connections between compatible QSFP28 ports in switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The cable provides a single-cable solution for short-reach 100G interconnects with consistent signal integrity over 50 metres. As an AOC, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation complexity and rack-cable bulk. QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectivity in a multi-mode optical assembly ensures support for common 100G protocols used in data centre and high-performance computing environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-50M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking equipment until the connector latches. The cable is hot-pluggable and the integrated transceivers will negotiate link parameters with the host device according to supported 100G protocols. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP28 ports and verify link status through your device management interface.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii appropriate for optical cables and avoid tight kinks or compression. Use secure cable management to prevent strain on connectors and to preserve optical performance over time. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and check firmware or platform documentation when deploying in specific switch, router or storage systems.
