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

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-1M-HU-BO is a 1‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G data transmission over multimode fiber. It conforms to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor standards and implements a 100GBASE-SR4 style optical interface suitable for short-reach interconnects in data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each connector end and supports digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time link parameters when the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM data.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC delivers a compact, pre-terminated QSFP28-to-QSFP28 solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying rack-to-rack or chassis-to-chassis connections. Built to MSA-compatible specifications, it is suitable for systems that accept QSFP28 AOCs and is manufactured using high-quality optical and electronic components to provide extended operational lifetime and stable 100 Gbit/s performance over the specified 1 meter length.

Suitable for

• Short-range 100G interconnects in data centers
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, or switch-to-storage links
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 style)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) over multimode fiber
• Length: 1 meter
• Form factor: QSFP28 (MSA-compatible)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when provided by host hardware

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring firm seating and that latches engage. Use the AOC for short-reach 100G connections where a pre-assembled cable provides a ready-made optical link without separate transceivers or patch panels. Verify that the host devices support QSFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable or query DDM/DOM parameters via the device management interface to monitor voltage, temperature, and optical power metrics.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connectors; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer. Confirm compatibility with your hardware platform before deployment and, when available, use digital diagnostics data to monitor link health and simplify troubleshooting.
