BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-2M-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 2m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and networking environments. It implements a 100GBASE-SR4 compatible link over multimode fiber with integrated transmitters and receivers at each end, providing a direct optical connection between QSFP28 ports while maintaining low latency and signal integrity over the specified distance.

Advantages

This 2 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) offers a compact, pre-terminated solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing connector loss. Compatibility with QSFP28 ports ensures support for 100 Gbps data rates and common high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Integrated optical components reduce power consumption compared with some electrical copper interconnects and help maintain stable performance in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-bandwidth storage area networks and SAN fabric interconnects
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand-enabled clusters requiring 100 Gbps links
• Network equipment and platforms that support QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable with multimode fiber
• Length: 2 meters
• Integrated optics: transmitter and receiver modules at each end
• Typical applications: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, InfiniBand high-speed links

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plug guidance for your network devices according to the vendor instructions before insertion if required. Align each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port and insert until the connector latches securely. Verify link status and negotiate speed on the connected devices; the cable is designed to present a native 100G link when connected to compatible QSFP28 ports. For removal, release the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the cable or port.

Recommendations

Route the cable with gentle bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Avoid tight kinks, excessive tensile force, or routing near high-heat sources. Use within the specified 2 m reach for guaranteed performance and verify firmware or hardware compatibility with your switch, router, or storage vendor to ensure full functionality.
