Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-30M-BO 30m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed interconnects, it supports 100G data transmission over multimode fibre and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor and 100GBASE-SR4 type signaling. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in each connector for reliable short-reach links in data centres, server farms and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

The cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity with minimal signal attenuation across a 30m multimode link. Its QSFP28 Male-to-Male configuration ensures direct plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOCs. As an active optical cable, it offers electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while keeping cable weight and bulk low for tidy rack installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Storage area networks and high-throughput backup links
• Short-reach 100G Ethernet deployments (100GBASE-SR4)

Key specifications

• Length: 30 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for multimode fibre
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s (supports 100GBASE-SR4)
• Application: Short-reach high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand, Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet)
• Form factor: QSFP28 MSA-compatible

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-30M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking devices, ensuring that ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer. The integrated transceivers are pre-terminated and do not require separate fibre termination. Verify link status and port configuration on connected devices and confirm negotiated speed and lane mapping where applicable.

Recommendations

Route and secure the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC. Use in environments with compatible QSFP28 ports and firmware that supports third-party AOCs. For critical deployments, validate a sample link in your environment to confirm interoperability and performance before large-scale rollout.
