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

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-1M-BO is a 1 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for InfiniBand and high-speed fibre optic applications. Compliant with MSA QSFP28 form factor conventions, this cable supports multi-mode fibre transmission and integrates transceivers on both ends to transmit and receive optical signals. It is intended for 100G-class short-reach links and for use in network and storage equipment that accept QSFP28 AOC connections.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics AOC provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for 100GBASE-SR4 applications. With integrated transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 housings, the cable eliminates the need for separate SFP/QSFP transceivers and simplifies installation. Manufactured to industry MSA standards, the cable is tested for interoperability with compatible network hardware and offers a compact, lightweight alternative to bulky copper or modular optics solutions.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 end into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices, ensuring the latch engages. No separate transceiver modules or fibre patching is required. Verify that connected equipment supports QSFP28 AOC modules and the targeted 100G protocol; consult device documentation to confirm compatibility and any required configuration. For hot-plug capable systems, the cable can be connected or disconnected while devices are powered according to the equipment vendor’s guidance.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m AOC in short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid routing the cable through tight bends or placing undue strain on the connectors. Maintain proper airflow around ports and follow equipment vendor guidance for compatibility and firmware considerations. For installations requiring longer distances or different transceiver types, select an appropriate optical module or longer AOC length.
