BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC30M-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 30 m QSFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC30M-BO is a 30 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male/male) connectors designed for 100G high-speed links using multi-mode fiber. Built to MSA standards and compatible with major networking platforms that support QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 AOCs, this cable integrates transmitters and receivers on each end to carry optical signals for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high-bandwidth protocols over a 30 metre distance.

Advantages

This 30 m QSFP28 AOC provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fibre connection that is immune to electromagnetic interference and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching. It supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status of voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature, and it is manufactured to industry MSA specifications using high-quality optical and electronic components to ensure consistent performance and long service life.

Suitable for

• 100G data centre uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand environments
• Storage systems and server-to-switch links requiring 100G bandwidth
• Short-reach aggregated links inside racks or between adjacent racks (up to 30 m)

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable
• Nominal bandwidth: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Length: 30 metres
• Fiber type: multi-mode optical transmission
• Connector orientation: male/male QSFP28
• Supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the devices to be connected, ensuring secure seating and adherence to device insertion/removal guidance. No additional transceivers or fiber patching is required; the AOC provides integrated transmitter and receiver modules. Verify that the host hardware supports QSFP28 AOCs and, if necessary, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface to read real-time diagnostics.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or excessive tension along the cable. Ensure port compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and verify that the connected equipment supports DDM/DOM if you intend to use the diagnostic features. For installation in racks, route the cable to avoid strain and maintain bend radius recommended for active optical assemblies.
