BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC1M-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 1 m QSFP28 Naranja

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100 Gbps short-reach links in data center and networking environments. The cable uses multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules in each QSFP28 housing to enable high-speed optical signal transmission while maintaining low latency and reliable connections. The bright orange jacket provides colour-coded identification for organised cable management.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP28 AOC delivers native 100G connectivity with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Compatibility with standard QSFP28 interfaces and compliance with MSA-style mechanical and electrical requirements simplify deployment in switches, routers and storage platforms that accept QSFP-100G AOC modules. The integrated transceiver design reduces connector count and potential points of failure while providing consistent optical performance for short-reach links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links between switches and routers in data centres
• High-bandwidth uplinks and spine-leaf topologies
• Direct connections between servers, storage arrays and network appliances with QSFP28 ports
• Environments requiring clear cable identification and organised patching

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC)
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Optical medium: multimode fiber with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Colour: orange jacket for identification
• Supports protocols: Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (up to 100G)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 port on your network devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plugging guidance from your hardware vendor when inserting or removing the AOC. After physical connection, verify link status and port configuration in the device management interface and confirm that the port is set to the intended speed and protocol. For best results, avoid sharp bends in the cable and keep the connector interfaces free of dust and debris.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC1M-BO cable for short-distance 100G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for multimode AOCs, handle connectors by the housing when plugging and unplugging, and store unused cables in a clean, dry area to preserve optical performance.
