Cavo AOC BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-7M-BO 7m QSFP28 connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-7M-BO is a 7-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Designed for direct interconnects in racks and across short data-center spans, this AOC supports 100 Gigabit links while minimizing electromagnetic interference and power consumption compared with comparable copper solutions. The cable delivers stable throughput and low latency for applications that require reliable 100G connectivity.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides native QSFP28 connectivity with plug-and-play compatibility for equipment that supports 100G QSFP ports. Its 7 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf connections without additional transceivers. Built-in optical components reduce signal degradation over the cable run and remove the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules, lowering deployment complexity. The AOC construction yields a compact, lightweight assembly that simplifies cable management and reduces heat generation in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Data center spine and leaf interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switching connections
• Server-to-switch 100G links in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 7 meters
• Media: multimode optical fiber with integrated transceivers
• Compatibility: compatible with equipment that supports QSFP28 100G ports

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-7M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding 100G QSFP port until it latches. Ensure both network endpoints are powered and configured for 100G operation. No external transceivers or additional configuration is normally required beyond standard interface settings; the cable includes integrated optical modules that the host devices recognize. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and secure it to rack infrastructure as needed for cable management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii above manufacturer minimums, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and verify firmware and port settings on connected devices for 100G operation. Use this AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth links where low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference are priorities.
