InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-7M-BO 7m Male/Male

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-7M-BO is a 7-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for InfiniBand and multimode fibre applications. It supports 100G data rates and connects QSFP28 ports on switches, servers and storage devices. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver in each connector to convert electrical signals to optical and back, enabling reliable high-speed links across a 7 m reach suitable for data centre interconnects.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC follows QSFP28 MSA dimensional and electrical conventions and is designed to provide a consistent 100GBASE-SR4-capable link over multimode fibre at a fixed 7 m length. The integrated optical transceivers reduce the need for separate transceiver modules and simplify installation. Components are selected to meet industry interoperability expectations for QSFP28 connections, offering a compact, low-latency cabling option for short-reach 100 Gbps applications.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it latches according to the host device instructions. Ensure both connected devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and the same transmission standard (100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent). No external power supply is required for the cable beyond the host devices; link activation and signal negotiation occur automatically when both ends are seated and the devices are powered. Follow device firmware and OS guidance for any link configuration or diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use the cable in clean rack environments and route it to avoid sharp bends or compression; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode AOCs and avoid tight cable bundles that may stress connectors. Verify compatibility with your specific hardware platform and firmware versions before deployment and consider testing a sample in your environment to confirm link performance.
