Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 00MP563-BO 3 m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics 00MP563-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-range links in data centers and networking environments. It supports 100GBASE-SR4 applications and carries optical signals via multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver components in each connector. The cable follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 form factor and is intended as a compatible solution for systems that accept QSFP28 100G AOCs.

Advantages

This 3 m BlueOptics AOC offers a factory-terminated, plug-and-play fiber link that eliminates the need for field terminations or patch-cord polishing. Integrated transceivers enable simultaneous send and receive functionality across multimode fibers, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. BlueOptics units are built to MSA standards and use quality optical and electronic components to provide stable signal performance for 100 Gbit/s applications over short distances.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• 100G Ethernet and related short-reach optical links (100GBASE-SR4)
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand environments requiring QSFP28 interconnects
• Storage area networks and SAN uplinks that accept QSFP28 AOCs

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission: Active Optical Cable for multimode fiber
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 applications)
• Form factor: QSFP28 (MSA-compliant)
• Digital diagnostics support: DDM/DOM information available if host hardware supports it

How to use

Power down is not typically required for hot-pluggable QSFP28 AOCs, but follow your equipment vendor’s hot-swap guidance. Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the latch engages, ensuring proper orientation. Verify link status via the switch or host interface; if the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor diagnostic parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature for link health. Use the cable for short-range connections within racks or across adjacent racks as appropriate for a 3 m length.

Recommendations

Avoid excessive bending and tension along the optical cable, keep connector end faces protected from dust before insertion, and ensure installed hardware supports QSFP28 100G AOCs and any diagnostic features you intend to use. Regularly inspect connectors and monitor DDM/DOM values when troubleshooting link issues.
