Cabo de fibra ótica BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand 2m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2M-BO is a 2 metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G InfiniBand and Ethernet applications. It implements QSFP28 AOC MSA-compliant electrical and mechanical interfaces and carries optical signals over multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers on each module. The cable supports high-speed links up to 100 Gbps and is intended for use in data centres, high-performance computing and other environments that require short-reach, low-latency optical interconnects.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 100G QSFP28 AOC offers full MSA compliance for interoperability with compatible QSFP28 ports and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted output power, received input power and temperature. Using multimode optical transmission it is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides low latency, simplified connectivity without patch cords and stable performance with components selected for long operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack high-speed links in data centres
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-router and switch-to-storage connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Server uplinks and aggregation layers requiring 100G bandwidth

• Typical use: short-reach (SR) 100G applications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2M-BO by plugging the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on each device until the latch engages. Ensure the host hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, that DDM/DOM is enabled to access diagnostic parameters. No patching or fibre cleaning is necessary for the pre-assembled cable, but ports should be powered down according to manufacturer guidance before insertion or removal to avoid transceiver damage. Verify link status and speed through the network equipment management interface after installation.

Recommendations

To maximise service life and reliability, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, and keep the operating environment within the equipment temperature specifications. Check that the connected hardware supports AOC modules and the required 100G protocols; enable DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are needed.
