Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC5M-BO 5 m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links, it supports 100G data transmission over multimode fiber and follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 physical interfaces. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers on each end to carry optical signals for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 100 Gbit/s on a 5 metre channel.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC5M-BO offers a factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution that removes the need for field splicing or patchcord cleaning and reduces insertion loss compared with multiple mated connectors. Its QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels and is compatible with systems that accept the corresponding QSFP-100G AOC type. Built and tested to MSA guidelines, the cable uses quality optical components and provides predictable performance and long service life suitable for data centre and high-performance computing environments.

Suitable for

• High-density server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand environments
• Storage area networks and high-speed storage interconnects
• Short-reach 100G interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) using multimode fiber
• Nominal data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Length: 5 metres
• Supported protocols: 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support for real-time monitoring of optical parameters (when supported by host hardware)

How to use

Plug each QSFP28 connector into corresponding QSFP28 ports on networking or compute equipment while the devices are powered per the equipment vendor guidelines. Ensure host devices support the use of third-party QSFP AOCs and, if needed, enable digital diagnostic monitoring in the host management interface to read supply voltage, laser bias, output/input power and temperature values. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; secure excess length to maintain stable optical performance.

Recommendations

Install this BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC5M-BO in short-reach 100G links inside racks or between adjacent racks; verify host compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and DDM/DOM support to access diagnostic data. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer bend-radius guidelines and keep connector endfaces free from contaminants prior to insertion.
