BlueOptics MFA1A00-E001-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 1 m QSFP28 conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-E001-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1 metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks. It uses QSFP28 connectors in a male-to-male configuration and is built to support short-range multimode optical transmission for 100G applications. The cable contains optical transmitters and receivers integrated in the QSFP28 modules to carry optical signals over multimode fibre, offering a compact solution for rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 active optical cable provides reliable 100G-capable data transfer with a standardized QSFP28 form factor compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 interfaces. Its 1 m length minimises cable clutter in dense rack environments while maintaining signal integrity through integrated optical transceivers. The male/male QSFP28 termination ensures straightforward insertion into QSFP28 ports and compatibility with systems that support 100G SR4 or QSFP28 interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links in data centres and server rooms
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections using QSFP28 ports
• High-bandwidth fabrics and InfiniBand or Ethernet cluster interconnects
• Environments requiring compact, low-profile optical cabling for dense racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Media: multimode fibre with integrated optical transceivers
• Data rate: supports up to 100 Gbit/s per link (100G applications)
• Form factor: QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC)

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and support the required 100G SR4 or QSFP28 AOC connectivity. With the devices powered down or under maintenance mode if recommended by the equipment vendor, insert each QSFP28 module into the corresponding port until the latch engages. After insertion, power up or enable the ports and verify link status through the equipment management interface. For removal, follow vendor procedures to avoid interrupting live traffic and unclip the latch before extracting the module.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or host platform before deployment, and consult vendor documentation for supported QSFP28 AOC variants and firmware requirements. Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid excessive bending near the connectors, and route the cable to prevent strain or kinks to maintain performance and longevity.
