Cavo ottico attivo per collegamento diretto CBO AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M-BO QSFP28 100 Gbit/s, 10 m

BlueOptics Direct Attach Active Optical Cable CBO AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M-BO is a 10 m QSFP28 active optical cable engineered for 100 Gbit/s links. Intended for data center interconnects, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch connections, this cable delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency optical transmission over a fixed 10-meter reach without the need for separate transceivers. The integrated QSFP28 connectors provide a compact, pluggable interface compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 modules, simplifying cabling in enterprise and hyperscale networking environments.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and power dissipation compared with copper alternatives while maintaining 100 Gbit/s aggregate throughput. With a 10 m reach, the cable supports flexible rack-to-rack and across-aisle connections inside data halls. QSFP28 form-factor connectors allow direct equipment attachment without additional SFP/optical transceivers, lowering component count and easing deployment. The product is optimized for low latency and stable signal integrity across the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch links in data centers
• Switch-to-switch interconnects within server rooms
• Server-to-switch high-speed uplinks
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s aggregate
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 10 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-agnostic optical link designed for data center distances
• Typical applications: short-reach data center interconnects, server and switch connections

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure ports on both ends support 100 Gbit/s operation and that firmware or interface settings are configured for the intended link (for example, port auto-negotiation or fixed lane mapping as required by your equipment). Route the 10 m cable along rack pathways or containment systems to avoid tight bends; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. No external transceivers are required; the cable is ready to use once connected and link parameters are verified.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing, keep dust caps in place until insertion, and avoid excessive bending or kinking of the optical cable. Verify compatibility with the QSFP28 ports on your switches or servers and check link status after installation. For best performance, follow data center cable management practices and maintain clean connector interfaces.
