Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A2M-BO 2 m QSFP28 laranja

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data centres and networking racks, this 100G-capable cable follows QSFP28 MSA form-factor conventions and supports multimode optical transmission for applications requiring reliable 100 Gigabit connectivity over a 2 metre distance.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP28 AOC provides a plug-and-play connection without the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying link deployment. The cable integrates transmitters and receivers on each end to carry high-speed optical signals over multimode fibre while maintaining signal integrity and interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP-100G-A2M compatible 100GBASE-SR4 links. Its compact QSFP28 connectors and orange jacket are suited for dense rack environments and easy visual identification.

Suitable for

• Short-reach spine-to-leaf or switch-to-switch 100G connections in data centres
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand environments requiring 100G links
• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and storage systems within a rack or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC)
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s aggregate
• Length: 2 metres
• Optical medium: multimode fibre
• Colour: orange jacket for identification
• Protocol support: Ethernet and InfiniBand high-speed applications up to 100G

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 male connector to compatible QSFP28 ports on networking equipment. The cable is hot-pluggable; ensure both ends are seated firmly. Because the active optical cable contains integrated optics, do not attempt to disassemble or modify the connectors. Verify port settings and speed negotiation on your switches or host adapters to confirm a 100G link is established, and monitor link status through your equipment management tools.

Recommendations

Install and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Use the cable for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks and confirm compatibility with host hardware that supports QSFP-100G-A2M compatible 100GBASE-SR4 AOC implementations.
