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

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors, designed for high-speed short-reach links in data centres and network deployments. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules at each end and uses multimode fibre to support 100G data rates in accordance with the 100GBASE-SR4 specification and QSFP28 MSA interface requirements.

Advantages

This AOC offers native QSFP28 connectivity with male/male QSFP28 plugs, enabling direct 100G connections without separate transceiver modules. Its 50 m multimode optical path provides consistent high-bandwidth transmission suitable for dense rack-to-rack and inter-switch links. Compatibility with equipment that supports Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC-50M style AOCs simplifies integration into existing infrastructures. The integrated transceivers at each end reduce component count and simplify installation compared with discrete transceiver-plus-cable solutions.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-50M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into corresponding QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidance of the networking equipment when inserting or removing the cable. Verify that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules compatible with Cisco-style QSFP-100G-AOC-50M interfaces and that port configuration matches the intended 100G signaling standard. After connection, confirm link status in the device management interface and monitor link statistics to validate performance.

Recommendations

Use this 50 m AOC in controlled data centre environments with proper cable management to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain. Confirm compatibility with the switch, router or host port firmware and vendor guidance before deployment; where possible, test the cable in a lab or request a sample to verify interoperability and performance in your specific setup.
