Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics JL277A-BO 10 m QSFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics JL277A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m QSFP28 Aqua is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet short-range links. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end and uses multimode fiber to support simultaneous send and receive optical transmission. It follows QSFP28 MSA electrical, mechanical and functional definitions and is intended for use in data centers, high-performance computing and other environments that require reliable 100 Gbps connections over short distances.

Advantages

This 10 m QSFP28 AOC provides a pre-assembled fibre connection that is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, reducing signal degradation and latency compared with copper alternatives. The cable supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power and temperature when supported by the host hardware. Manufactured according to MSA compatibility guidelines, the product is built with industry-grade optoelectronic components and is designed for sustained operation and long service life in professional networking equipment.

Suitable for

• 100GBASE-SR4 short-range links between switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers
• Storage systems and SAN aggregation where QSFP28 ports are available

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 10 meters
• Supported data rates: up to 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 and compatible InfiniBand protocols)
• Optical transceivers: integrated transmitter and receiver on each end for optical laser transmission
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472, when supported by host
• Physical color: Aqua (typical for multimode OM3/OM4 class cables)
• Compliance: designed to meet standard industry interoperability and safety requirements

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 module into the appropriate QSFP28 port on your compatible switches, routers or storage devices. Ensure the host devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the device management interface to access diagnostic readings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, observe manufacturer bend-radius guidelines for multimode fibre, and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. No additional patching or transceiver configuration is typically required for native-compatible hardware.

Recommendations

Before deployment, verify port compatibility with your hardware vendor and confirm DDM/DOM availability if remote diagnostics are needed. Handle the optical connectors and cable with care, keep connector ferrules clean and avoid tight bends to preserve optical performance and ensure long-term reliability.
