Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-50M-BO 50m conector/conector

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-50M-BO is a 50 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet links. It uses multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector to support short-reach 100GBASE-SR4 and similar high-throughput protocols, providing a factory-terminated, plug-and-play connection for data centre switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC delivers a pre-assembled optical link that eliminates the need for field termination, patch cords and manual fibre cleaning. The integrated transceivers and compliance with QSFP28 MSA indexing enable interoperability with hardware that supports the corresponding 100G AOC interface. Active diagnostics (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / DOM) provide real-time readouts of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature to simplify troubleshooting. The cable is manufactured to industry standards and uses components from established suppliers to provide stable operation and long service life.

Suitable for

• High-performance data centre uplinks and leaf-spine switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 100G links in HPC and cluster environments
• High-bandwidth storage and SAN interconnects using 100G protocols

Key specifications

• Length: 50 metres

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-50M-BO by plugging each QSFP28 connector directly into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor’s instructions. No additional fibre patching or splicing is required. Verify that the host hardware supports 100G QSFP28 AOC modules and, if necessary, enable or verify DOM/DDM support in the device management interface to access diagnostic parameters. After insertion, check link status and performance counters on the connected devices to confirm successful operation.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in clean, controlled data centre environments and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm hardware compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and enable DOM in the management software to monitor optical parameters. For critical systems, consider requesting a sample or performing a short compatibility test before large deployments.
