Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-7M-BO 7 m maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends designed for 100G high‑speed data links in data centres and networking installations. The cable uses multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules in the QSFP28 housings, supporting 100G protocols such as 100GBASE‑SR4 and compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOC modules. Its male‑to‑male QSFP28 termination and 7 m length suit short‑reach connections between switches, servers and storage within racks and across adjacent racks.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a compact, single‑assembly solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing rack cabling complexity. The QSFP28 male/male connections enable direct 100G links with low latency and electrical isolation inherent to optical transmission. The 7‑metre length offers a balance between reach and manageability for high‑density deployments and is compatible with hardware supporting QSFP28 AOC modules.

Suitable for

• High‑performance computing clusters requiring 100G InfiniBand or Ethernet interconnects
• Inter‑rack and intra‑rack connections between switches, servers and storage
• Data centre network upgrades to 100G using QSFP28 ports
• Environments where compact, low‑latency, short‑reach optical links are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 7 metres
• Technology: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Supported link standard: 100G (e.g., 100GBASE‑SR4 compatible)
• Fibre type: multimode fibre
• Application: InfiniBand, 100G Ethernet and similar high‑speed protocols

How to use

Install by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking device until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected devices are powered and configured to accept 100G AOC links. For proper operation, verify that the host hardware and firmware support QSFP28 AOC cables and the specific 100G protocol in use. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid excessive bending near the connector assemblies; do not pull on the fibre jacket.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable within standard data‑centre temperature and humidity ranges, avoid tight bends (observe the minimum bend radius), and confirm compatibility with your switch, router or storage platform. If interoperability is critical, verify support for QSFP28 AOC modules in the device documentation or request a test sample before large deployments.
