BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC3M-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP28 Naranja

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC3M-BO is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic networking. It implements a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection compatible with 100GBASE-SR4 applications and carries optical signals over multi-mode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver electronics at each end. The cable is intended for data center and enterprise environments where reliable 100 Gbps links, low latency and interoperability with QSFP28 ports are required.

Advantages

The AOC design integrates optical transceivers within the cable ends, reducing the need for separate pluggable modules while providing stable 100 Gbps connectivity over 3 meters. Compatibility with industry-standard QSFP28 interfaces ensures straightforward integration into existing switch, router and storage platforms that support QSFP-100G AOC connections. Use of multi-mode fiber reduces power consumption compared with equivalent electrical copper solutions and helps maintain low latency for high-throughput applications.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbps links between switches and routers within data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric connections
• Interconnects for storage systems and top-of-rack networking

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 (male) at both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Transmission medium: multi-mode optical fiber with integrated AOC electronics
• Application: InfiniBand and Ethernet 100G short-reach links

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on network switches, routers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure that both endpoints support QSFP28 AOC modules and 100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent 100G optical interfaces. No separate transceiver configuration is required beyond standard port setup in the host device; verify link status and configure port speed or VLANs through the device management interface as needed.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends to preserve the multi-mode fiber performance. Keep the operating environment within the host equipment manufacturer’s temperature and humidity limits and verify firmware or compatibility notes for the specific switch or router model to ensure full interoperability.
