BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC30M-HU-BO Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 30 m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC30M-HU-BO is a 30 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 100G data links. It implements the 100GBASE-SR4 optical interface over multimode fiber and integrates transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 housings. The cable follows MSA QSFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with hardware platforms that support QSFP28 AOCs, providing a pre-terminated, low-latency connection for data center switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This 30 m BlueOptics AOC delivers native 100G performance with simultaneous send/receive optical channels and integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for voltage, temperature, laser bias, transmit power and receive power. As a pre-assembled multimode optical link it eliminates patching and connector cleaning in the channel, reducing insertion loss and simplifying deployment. The product is manufactured to MSA guidelines and uses proven optical and electronic components to provide high availability and long operational life.

Suitable for

• 100G interconnection between QSFP28 ports in data center racks and top-of-rack switches
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links
• Storage area networks and high-throughput storage systems
• Short-reach optical links in enterprise and carrier aggregation rooms

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC)
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4)
• Length: 30 metres (multimode fiber)
• Optical medium: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM compliant (real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, TX/RX power and laser bias)
• Compliance: QSFP28 AOC MSA mechanical/electrical compatibility, CE and RoHS conformity

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until it latches. Ensure the host devices support QSFP28 AOCs and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, that the hardware and management software can read the diagnostic registers. Route the pre-assembled cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe the cable minimum bend radius stated by the manufacturer. No field termination or patching is required — use the cable as a direct link between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage platform before installation. Maintain the fiber connection by protecting the QSFP28 connector housings from dust and contaminants when not in use. For reliable long-term operation, avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, keep the cable away from heat sources, and use the DOM readings to monitor link health and preemptively address potential issues.
