BlueOptics 00MP552-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 20 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics 00MP552-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m QSFP28 is a 20-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 multi-mode optical transmission and integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to provide a pre-terminated fibre solution that reduces the need for patching and fibre cleaning.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC offers plug-and-play connectivity with QSFP28 form-factor compatibility and supports up to 100 Gbit/s over a 20-metre multi-mode link according to 100GBASE-SR4 specifications. Being an active optical cable, it eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI) concerns inherent to copper cabling and provides a lightweight, flexible link suitable for dense rack and switch environments. The product includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capabilities to report real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit optical power, receive optical power and temperature, facilitating remote troubleshooting and link monitoring.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand networks
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server 100G connections
• Storage area networks and fibre channel over Ethernet deployments up to 100G
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links over short to medium distances

Key specifications

• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472
• Optical medium: multi-mode fibre with integrated optical transceivers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00MP552-BO by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on the network devices to be linked. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the host devices support 100GBASE-SR4 and QSFP28 AOC modules. If you require access to diagnostic data, enable DDM/DOM reporting on the connected hardware and use the device management interface to read supply voltage, laser bias current, optical power levels and temperature. No field termination or patching is required; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported transceiver list before deployment and verify that the target devices support DDM/DOM if you plan to use monitoring features. Route the 20 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and keep optical interfaces clean during installation to maintain optimal signal quality.
