BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A1M-BO Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 1 m QSFP28 arancione

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP28 Orange is a 1-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach interconnects in data centres and network racks. It supports 100GBASE-SR4 transmission over multimode fibre and integrates optical transmitter and receiver components to carry up to 100 Gbit/s per link while maintaining a compact QSFP28 form factor.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC provides a factory-integrated optical solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing assembly and testing effort. The 1 m length is suitable for direct connections within racks or between adjacent racks where low-latency, high-bandwidth links are required. Compatibility with QSFP28 ports and support for 100GBASE-SR4 signalling ensure predictable electrical and optical behaviour for short-reach data centre applications.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbit/s interconnects within server racks
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage connections within data centres
• High-bandwidth InfiniBand or Ethernet links requiring QSFP28 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated Tx/Rx
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fibre type: multimode fibre for short-reach transmission
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: orange jacket
• Form factor: QSFP28

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the latch engages, ensuring proper orientation. Use the cable for direct active optical links between QSFP28-capable switches, routers, servers or storage devices that support 100GBASE-SR4 or compatible QSFP28 AOC modules. Confirm that connected equipment supports AOC modules and that firmware or port settings are configured for 100G operation where required.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and stress on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Use the 1 m length for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and verify interoperability with your switch or storage vendor if you require vendor-specific compatibility confirmation.
