Cabo AOC BlueOptics GUB7RXS-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m aqua

The BlueOptics GUB7RXS-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m Aqua is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for 100G optical links in InfiniBand and fibre environments. With a 10 meter length and an aqua outer jacket, this AOC supports low-latency, high-throughput data transmission over multimode fiber using the 100GBASE-SR4/InfiniBand signaling profile and conforms to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor expectations.

Advantages

The AOC design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fibers by integrating optical transceivers into the cable ends, providing a compact and reliable connection with reduced electromagnetic interference. The cable is manufactured to MSA-aligned specifications and uses quality optical and electronic components to ensure consistent signal integrity and extended service life. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM, where supported by host hardware) enable real-time monitoring of electrical and optical parameters to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 socket until the latch engages. Ensure both host devices support QSFP28 AOC connections and the chosen 100G optical profile. Verify that the receiving equipment supports the DDM/DOM functionality if remote diagnostics are required. Route the cable through rack openings or cable guides to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid mechanical stress on the connector assemblies.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the AOC for short-range 100G links inside data centres or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor for QSFP28 AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM in management interfaces when monitoring is needed. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force, and exposure to fluids or debris to preserve optical performance and connector life.
