Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics 00MP556-BO 30 m QSFP28 connettore maschio

The BlueOptics 00MP556-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, engineered for 100G multimode optical links. Designed to support high-speed data transfer in data centres and high-performance computing environments, this cable implements 100GBASE-SR4 signaling and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to enable simultaneous send and receive operations over multi-mode fiber. The pre-assembled AOC removes the need for separate transceivers and patching, offering a factory-qualified connection for compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC adheres to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor and 100GBASE-SR4 optical specifications, providing plug-and-play connectivity for equipment that supports the corresponding original cable. It carries an integrated digital diagnostics interface (DDM/DOM compliant with SFF-8472) to report supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature in real time. The cable is manufactured using high-quality optical components and ICs to ensure consistent signal integrity and long operational lifetime for demanding network applications.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and routers within data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand-capable systems
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and server uplinks
• Short-reach multimode optical connections up to 30 metres

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male on both ends)
• Length: 30 m
• Transmission protocol: 100GBASE-SR4 / compatible with InfiniBand and Ethernet 100G applications
• Fiber type: multimode optical fiber (AOC assembly)
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (SFF-8472) for realtime monitoring of voltage, bias current, output power, input power and temperature

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 connector to the corresponding QSFP28 port on network switches, routers, storage systems or servers that support 100G AOC modules. Ensure ports are configured for 100G operation and that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required. Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid tight bends; follow hardware vendor guidance for insertion and removal of QSFP28 modules. No separate transceiver installation is required because the AOC integrates optical transmitters and receivers within the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility with the original 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 specifications and confirm that connected devices support AOCs of this type. Maintain proper cable management to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress, and use the DDM/DOM diagnostic data for remote monitoring and troubleshooting of optical link parameters.
