BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-2M-BO is a 2-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors designed for 100G InfiniBand and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. Engineered for use in data centers and high-performance networking equipment, this pre-terminated multimode fiber cable carries bidirectional optical signals between QSFP28 ports, delivering low latency and stable 100 Gbit/s links over a short-reach 2 m span. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end and supports digital diagnostics for monitoring key operating parameters.

Advantages

The AOC design eliminates the need for field-terminated fiber connectors and patching, reducing attenuation and the risk of contamination. Compliance with QSFP28 and MSA signaling profiles ensures interoperability with hardware that supports 100GBASE-SR4 and QSFP-100G-AOC form factors. Built with industry-grade optical components, the cable is intended to provide consistent performance, simplified installation and reduced maintenance compared with discrete transceivers plus patchcords.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-2M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug and handling guidelines. Ensure host equipment supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if you plan to use digital diagnostics, that the host system firmware or management interface exposes DDM/DOM parameters. Handle connectors by the housing, avoid touching optical interfaces, and route the 2 m cable to prevent sharp bends or mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware and firmware prior to deployment. Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks where 100GBASE-SR4 or InfiniBand 100G profiles are supported. Maintain clean handling practices and avoid excessive bending to preserve signal integrity and expected lifetime.
