Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC50M-BO 50 m QSFP28 laranja

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 m active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed 100G data transmission. Compliant with MSA QSFP28 form factor and designed for multimode short-reach links, this AOC integrates optical transmitter and receiver electronics in each connector housing to deliver signal conversion and low-latency transmission across a 50 metre multimode fiber link. The cable is intended for use in data centres and high-performance computing environments where QSFP28 connectivity and 100GBASE-SR4-compatible operation are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a plug-and-play QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection without separate transceivers, reducing installation complexity and physical space requirements. Built to support 100G multimode short-reach applications, the assembly offers predictable electrical and optical performance for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, or switch-to-storage interconnects over a 50 m distance. Compatibility with common hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOCs ensures straightforward integration into existing racks and patching layouts.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects using QSFP28 ports
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or switch-to-storage connections over multimode fibre

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fibre
• Nominal length: 50 metres
• Supported data rate: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Use case: Short-reach multimode links for Ethernet, InfiniBand and similar high-speed protocols

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into corresponding QSFP28 ports until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are seated properly and that equipment ports are powered and configured for 100G operation. No separate transceivers are required; the active optical modules in the connectors handle optical/electrical conversion. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, maintaining the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode optical assemblies.

Recommendations

Verify port compatibility and firmware support on networking or compute hardware before deployment. For optimal signal integrity, use the cable within data centre environmental parameters and avoid tight bends, excessive tension, or exposure to liquids. If interoperability issues arise, consult equipment vendor documentation for supported QSFP28 AOC models and test with a proof-of-concept link prior to large-scale rollout.
