Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-1M-H3-BO 1 m connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-1M-H3-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male is a short-reach active optical cable designed for 100 Gigabit interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing networks. With a one-metre length and QSFP28 form-factor, this cable provides a compact, factory-terminated connection that supports high-bandwidth, low-latency links between switches, servers and NICs. The product is intended for reliable transmission over short distances where electrical cables are impractical or introduce signal degradation.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high data throughput with reduced electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption compared to equivalent copper solutions. The QSFP28 interface provides standardized compatibility with 100G ports, while the 1 m length minimises excess cable bulk in dense rack deployments. Designed for InfiniBand environments, the cable offers consistent signal integrity and thermal stability under typical data centre operating conditions.

Suitable for

• 100 Gigabit connections between switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Short-reach links in server racks and top-of-rack switch setups
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 male connector
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet interconnects
• Signal: Fibre optic transmission for short-reach links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding 100G QSFP28 port on your switch, server or NIC and insert until it latches. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP28 ports and that connectors are free of dust before insertion. After connection, verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. For removal, release the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by their housing, avoid bending the cable sharply and maintain a minimum bend radius recommended for active optical cables. Use the 1 m length for short, direct interconnects in rack-mounted systems and keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination. Verify compatibility with host port firmware and transceiver support lists prior to deployment.
