BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m Male/Male

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed interconnects. It supports 100GBASE-SR4 multi-mode transmission and is built to follow MSA-compliant QSFP28 form-factor and electrical/optical interfaces. Intended for short-reach links in data center and networking environments, this cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to carry optical signals over multi-mode fiber at 100 Gbps on a 2 m channel.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-power AOC solution for 100 Gbps links with QSFP28 connectivity, reducing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies direct device-to-device connections between compatible switches, routers and servers. Manufactured to MSA-compatible specifications and tested for interoperability, the product emphasizes consistent optical performance and long service life for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until it seats securely, following the host device manufacturer's guidance for hot-plug handling. Use the cable for short-reach 100G links between compatible QSFP28 ports; no external transceivers or patch fibers are required. Verify link status and transceiver settings in the network equipment management interface and ensure firmware or driver versions support third-party AOCs if device-specific checks are enforced.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius for AOCs. For reliable operation, use the cable within typical data center environmental conditions and confirm device compatibility before deployment. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.
