Cavo AOC BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-CABLE-50M-BO 50m QSFP28 connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-CABLE-50M-BO is a 50-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28-enabled devices. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this AOC provides a direct-attach solution for short- to mid-range interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports multi-lane 100Gbps class links while offering the benefits of optical signaling such as immunity to electrical interference and consistent signal integrity over the full 50 m length.

Advantages

This active optical cable reduces latency and crosstalk compared with equivalent copper assemblies, while its plug-and-play QSFP28 termination simplifies installation. The optical construction provides stable performance in dense rack environments and eliminates the need for separate transceivers, lowering power consumption and overall system complexity. The 50 m reach enables flexible placement of networking equipment across racks or rooms without additional fiber patching.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and servers with QSFP28 ports
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage fabrics
• Low-latency, high-throughput network links in enterprise environments

Key specifications

• Length: 50 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported link class: multi-lane 100 Gbps-class connections
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference due to optical signaling
• Designed for short- to mid-range data center interconnects

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the compatible ports on your network devices until the latch clicks. Confirm link status on device management interfaces and verify negotiated speed and lane configuration. The cable is hot-pluggable; however, follow your equipment vendor’s procedures for handling and insertion to avoid port damage. For optimal signal integrity, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress during installation.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use appropriate airflow and cable management in racks to prevent overheating and mechanical strain. Verify compatibility with device firmware and port configurations before deployment to ensure full performance of QSFP28 links.
