BlueOptics QSFP28-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP28-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for 100G class interconnects. It implements QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectivity over multimode fibre and is intended for use in data center switching, routing and storage environments where low latency and high bandwidth are required. The cable supports common 100G optical protocols including 100GBASE-SR4 and is built to MSA-compliant QSFP28 form-factor specifications.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP28-AOC-1M-BO offers plug-and-play connectivity with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. As an active optical cable it reduces electromagnetic interference susceptibility compared with copper alternatives and delivers high bandwidth with low latency over a 1 m multimode link. The product includes digital diagnostics/DOM capabilities for real-time monitoring of link parameters such as optical power and temperature when supported by the host hardware.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28-AOC-1M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 ports on compatible network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment vendor if connecting live. Verify link negotiation and monitor diagnostics through the host system to confirm optical power and temperature are within expected ranges. Use standard handling precautions for optical modules and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector ends.

Recommendations

Confirm hardware compatibility and DOM/DDM support in the target switches, routers or host adapters before deployment. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; keep multimode links within recommended channel distances and use manufacturer tools or host diagnostics to validate link performance after installation.
