BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-AT-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 30 m QSFP28 conector macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-AT-BO is a 30-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G multi-lane high-speed links. Built to the QSFP28 AOC MSA, this cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 style multimode optical transmission and is intended for direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connections in data center and high-performance computing environments. The pre-assembled fiber and integrated transceiver electronics provide a single-cable solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching chains.

Advantages

This BlueOptics active optical cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to enable optical data transfer over multimode fiber with support for up to 100 Gbit/s on a 30 m link. Compliance with QSFP28 AOC MSA electrical, mechanical and functional definitions ensures interoperability with systems that accept standard QSFP28 AOCs. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of essential parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features. The cable is manufactured with components from established suppliers and is produced under quality processes intended to deliver long operational lifetime and high availability.

Suitable for

• 100G QSFP28 direct interconnects between switches and routers
• High-performance computing and cluster node connections
• Switch-to-server or switch-to-storage links within data centers
• Short-reach multimode optical links in network aggregation layers

Key specifications

• Length: 30 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 style multimode operation)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceiver electronics
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware allows

How to use

Install the BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-AT-BO by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure both devices accept QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the host system for access to diagnostic parameters. The cable arrives pre-terminated and does not require field termination; avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius during routing to preserve optical performance. For hot-plug capable ports, insert and remove the cable according to the equipment vendor’s recommended procedures.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable performance, route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and keep connectors free of dust before insertion. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and consult device documentation if DDM/DOM values are required for monitoring. For critical links, consider testing the cable in your environment prior to deployment.
