BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A3M-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP28 Naranja

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A3M-BO is a 3 m InfiniBand active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data centers and network equipment racks, this 100GBASE-SR4 compatible cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers at each end and transmits signals over multi-mode fiber to provide reliable 100 Gbit/s connectivity with low latency.

Advantages

This QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC offers a plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching, reducing installation complexity and improving signal integrity. Compliance with MSA-form factor guidelines and 100GBASE-SR4 transmission makes it interoperable with a broad range of networking and storage devices that support QSFP-100G connections. The 3 meter length is suitable for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks, providing consistent performance for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbps links inside server racks or between adjacent racks
• High-performance InfiniBand and Ethernet fabric connections
• Interconnects for switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP28 100G ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Medium: Active Optical Cable over multi-mode fiber
• MSA-compliant QSFP28 form factor
• Low latency, integrated transmitter and receiver per end

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding 100G QSFP28 port on your networking or storage device until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support QSFP-100G AOC connections and the 100GBASE-SR4 protocol. No external power or separate transceivers are required; the cable negotiates link parameters with the connected equipment. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable clear of sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your hardware vendor's supported transceivers list before deployment. Use the 3 m length for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and store the cable without sharp bends. For testing critical links, perform link validation and throughput checks after installation.
