BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G high-speed links. It implements the 100GBASE-SR4 multimode transmission profile and integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the connectors to carry optical signals across a pre-assembled multimode fiber link. The cable is intended for data centre and high-performance computing environments where low latency, immunity to electromagnetic interference and compact QSFP28 connectivity are required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC supports 100G data rates over a short-reach multimode fiber link and follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 connectivity for straightforward interchangeability. Because the transceiver electronics are integrated into the cable ends, the product eliminates the need for separate pluggable transceivers and patchcord mating, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. The cable provides Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) capabilities for real-time readout of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches and routers in data centres
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-storage links in HPC clusters
• Short-reach 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and comparable optical applications

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 7 metres
• Transmission standard: 100GBASE-SR4 (multimode)
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (host-dependent)
• Suitable medium: multimode fibre

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-7M-BO by inserting the QSFP28 connectors firmly into the QSFP28 ports of the devices to be connected. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the host equipment supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, DDM/DOM monitoring. No additional transceivers or patching is necessary since the cable contains pre-assembled multimode fibre and integrated optical modules. Follow standard safety procedures for handling optical equipment and avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific switch, router or server platform before deployment and confirm that the host firmware supports third-party AOCs if DDM/DOM monitoring is needed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and keep optical interfaces clean when making connections.
