BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-50M-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 50m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed environments, it supports 100G multi-lane short-reach transmission over multimode fiber and is compatible with systems that accept QSFP28 AOC modules. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in each connector housing to enable direct 100G connectivity between networking and compute equipment without separate transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a compact, lightweight connection that reduces rack cabling complexity and supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links up to 100 Gbps across a 50 meter distance. Built to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor and compatible with major hardware that supports QSFP-100G AOC modules, it delivers consistent signal quality for short-range data center and HPC interconnects. The integrated optical design eliminates the need for separate SFP/QSFP transceivers and fiber patching for matched QSFP28 endpoints.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage area networks and high-throughput storage systems
• Short-reach 100G Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male/male)
• Length: 50 meters
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Supported link speed: up to 100 Gbps (multi-lane short-reach)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber for short-reach transmission
• Form factor: QSFP28 MSA-compatible

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-50M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 end into the QSFP28 ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the module is fully seated and the retention mechanism is engaged. Verify device compatibility and link configuration on both endpoints before powering heavy traffic. The cable requires no separate transceivers or additional patch cords; once connected, configure network interfaces and protocols as needed for 100G operation and verify link status through device management tools.

Recommendations

Place the cable in rack pathways with adequate bend radius and avoid tight bends near the QSFP28 housings. Use this 50 m AOC for short-range, high-bandwidth links inside data halls and inter-rack runs; verify vendor compatibility lists for QSFP-100G AOC support to ensure full functionality.
