BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M-H3-BO Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 10m

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M-H3-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed 100G connectivity between QSFP28 ports. Designed for short-reach links in data centres and high-performance computing racks, the cable integrates QSFP28 connectors on both ends to provide a direct, low-latency connection without additional transceivers. Its construction supports reliable signal integrity and efficient heat dissipation for sustained operation under typical data centre conditions.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC delivers native 100G data rates over a 10 m active optical link, enabling high-throughput interconnects with low power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions. The dual-ended QSFP28 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 modules, simplifying installation and rack reconfiguration. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and supports high-density cable management in confined pathways.

Suitable for

• Data centre top-of-rack and spine-to-leaf interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-switch links
• Low-latency InfiniBand or Ethernet fabric connections
• Short-reach 100G links within racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 10 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and compatible 100G switch/server interfaces
• Signal medium: Optical fibre with integrated transceivers

How to use

Identify the QSFP28 ports on the devices to be connected and ensure they support AOC or QSFP28 modules. Remove protective caps from the QSFP28 connectors, align each connector with the corresponding port, and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status via the host device or switch management interface and confirm 100G negotiation. For removal, disengage the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid bending the cable near the connector.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends—maintain the minimum bend radius specified for QSFP28 AOCs. Keep connectors capped when not in use and route the cable to minimize strain or kinking. Use appropriate airflow planning in racks to prevent excess heat buildup around active components. Verify compatibility with your switch or host firmware and update drivers if required for optimal performance.
