BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-7M-HU-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-7M-HU-BO is a 7 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 male connectors designed for 100G high-speed links in data center and networking environments. It implements multimode optical transmission suitable for protocols such as 100G Ethernet, and is made to the QSFP28/MSA form factor for direct connection between switches, routers, storage systems and servers without patch panels or separate transceivers.

Advantages

This 7 metre BlueOptics AOC provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fiber connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patchcords, reducing installation time and potential attenuation from additional connections. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver optics in the QSFP28 ends and supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/received power and temperature where the host hardware supports these features. The design conforms to common MSA standards and is intended for high-availability use in performance-sensitive environments.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth connections between switches and routers in data centers
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays supporting QSFP28
• Short-reach 100G Ethernet or similar high-speed interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 7 metres (fixed AOC)
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber (active optical cable)
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Form factor: QSFP28 compliant (QSFP-100G)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) supported when host hardware provides access

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-7M-HU-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and capable of 100G QSFP28 operation and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the host system for diagnostic readouts. No additional transceivers or patchcords are needed; the cable is a fixed-length, pre-terminated AOC designed for plug-and-play deployment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach connections within or between racks where 7 m length is appropriate, avoid excessive bending or strain on the cable and connectors, and confirm that your hardware platform supports QSFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is needed.
