Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-25M-HU-BO 25m macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-25M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 25m Male/Male is a 25-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for high-speed links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable provides a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection compatible with 100GBASE-SR4 and is built with transmitters and receivers on each end for multi-mode fibre optical signalling. It is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, routers, servers and storage systems that support QSFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

The cable offers a factory-terminated, integrated AOC solution that removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, delivering consistent 100 Gbps connectivity over 25 metres. QSFP28 male-to-male terminations ensure direct plug-and-play installation into compatible QSFP28 ports. Built according to common MSA pinout conventions and compatible with hardware platforms that accept QSFP-100G-AOC modules, the design reduces space and power requirements compared with electrical DACs and simplifies high-density cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbps links between switches in data centres
• Server-to-switch interconnects in HPC clusters
• High-speed storage array connections
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine network fabrics requiring 25 m reach

Key specifications

• Length: 25 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Medium: multi-mode fibre with active optical transceivers integrated at both ends
• Application: short-reach multimode optical interconnects for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols

How to use

Plug each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the cable latch engages and the port LEDs indicate a link. No separate transceivers or fibre patch panels are required; the integrated AOC transceivers handle optical conversion. Verify device compatibility with QSFP-100G-AOC modules and configure link settings on switches or servers as needed to enable 100G operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Install the cable in environments that match the supported short-reach multimode specification, avoid sharp bends or crushing, and confirm compatibility with your hardware platform before deployment. For high-density installations, plan cable routing to minimize bend radius stress and maintain airflow in racks.
