BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 20 m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The 20 m multimode AOC supports 100G data rates and uses integrated transmitter and receiver modules to provide a plug-and-play fibre connection that minimises signal loss and electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This BlueOptics 100G QSFP28 AOC provides a single-cable solution for 100G connections without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. The cable complies with QSFP28 AOC MSA electrical and mechanical specifications, offers digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status information, and is manufactured with high-quality optical and electronic components to ensure long service life and reliable link performance.

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 20 m
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 / compatible high-speed protocols)
• Fiber type: multimode fibre for short-reach applications
• Integrated transmitters and receivers on each end (active optical cable)
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for supply voltage, bias current, TX output power, RX input power and temperature
• MSA-compliant QSFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical interface
• Compliance with common industrial directives (CE, RoHS, FCC-level compliance)

How to use

Install by plugging each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on your switches, routers or storage devices. Verify that the host hardware supports active QSFP28 AOCs and DDM/DOM if you intend to use digital diagnostic functions. No additional transceivers or patch cables are required; simply route the pre-assembled cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable, keep connector end-faces protected from contamination when not in use, and confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's QSFP28 AOC support list before deployment. Use monitoring tools that read DDM/DOM values to track link health and detect early deviations in optical power or temperature.
