Cavo AOC BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M-BO 25m QSFP28 connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M-BO is a 25 m active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, engineered for 100G data transmission in rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects. It provides a direct, plug-and-play optical link without transceivers, reducing port count and power consumption while maintaining low latency and high signal integrity. The cable is intended for use in data centers, server farms and high-performance computing clusters where reliable, high-bandwidth connections are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 100 Gigabit performance over a 25 metre reach with QSFP28-to-QSFP28 compatibility, offering consistent throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules, simplifying installation and lowering system power draw. The lightweight, flexible construction eases cable management in dense rack environments and supports stable, low-latency links for demanding applications.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack and intra-rack high-speed connections
• Interconnects between switches,routers and servers supporting QSFP28
• High-performance computing clusters and storage arrays
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until it clicks into place. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance from the equipment manufacturer if connecting while systems are active. Verify link status through the host equipment management interfaces and confirm expected data rate and link integrity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, maintaining the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius and keeping it clear of heat sources or moving parts.

Recommendations

Use this 25 m QSFP28 AOC in controlled data center environments where temperature and handling follow equipment guidelines. For optimal performance, confirm compatibility with your switch and server QSFP28 ports and monitor link status after installation. Avoid repeated sharp bends and secure the cable to maintain tidy rack management and long-term reliability.
