Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2501-BO 25 m QSFP28 azul

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2501-BO is a 25 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet connectivity in data center and high-performance networking environments. It integrates transmitters and receivers on each connector and follows QSFP28 MSA electrical, mechanical and functional definitions to ensure interoperability with hardware platforms that support QSFP28 AOCs. The cable supports multi-mode optical transmission for up to 100 Gbit/s over the 25 m length and provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time link information where supported by the host equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC delivers low-latency, EMI-immune optical connectivity suitable for short-reach 100G links. Built to MSA QSFP28 specifications, the cable is pre-assembled and requires no field termination or patching, reducing installation time and potential signal losses. Integrated digital diagnostics provide supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature readings to aid remote monitoring and troubleshooting. Components are selected to meet industrial quality standards, supporting long operational lifetime and consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports on switches and routers within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-throughput server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in data centers
• Low-latency InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet links for HPC and virtualization environments
• Short-reach optical links where electromagnetic immunity and minimal cabling effort are required

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into corresponding QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or servers while the devices are powered according to the host equipment guidelines. Ensure that the host hardware explicitly supports QSFP28 AOCs and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the device firmware or management software can read diagnostic data from the module. The pre-assembled cable requires no splicing or additional patch cords; handle the connectors and fiber bundle following standard ESD and fiber cleanliness procedures. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; observe the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Verify host compatibility before deployment and use the digital diagnostics feature to monitor link health during operation. Store and handle the cable to avoid contamination on connector end-faces and to prevent excessive bending. For critical installations, consider testing a sample AOC in your actual hardware and firmware environment to confirm full functionality and DDM support.
