BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-3M-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 3m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors designed for 100G data links. It provides a factory-terminated male-to-male connection that carries optical signals over multimode fiber and is intended for high-throughput connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable implements an active optical design with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end to support reliable 100G communication between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This 3 m AOC offers high-bandwidth 100G connectivity while eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 format provides a compact, direct link with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. As an active optical cable using multimode fiber, it enables stable short-reach connections with consistent signal integrity and predictable power consumption suitable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems within racks or between adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand-enabled systems requiring 100G links
• Data center top-of-rack and spine-layer short-reach 100G connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors (male-to-male)
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Length: 3 meters
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (built-in transceivers at both ends)
• Interface standard: QSFP28 form factor suitable for 100GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand applications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-3M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on networking or compute equipment. Ensure the port cages and connector orientations match and apply gentle, even pressure until the connector latches. No external transceivers or additional patch cords are required. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface after insertion. Remove the cable by releasing the latch mechanism and pulling straight out without twisting.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach 100G links in controlled data center environments. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and verify supported protocols (Ethernet, InfiniBand or Fibre Channel over Ethernet) on your equipment prior to deployment.
