Cable óptico activo BlueOptics QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Infiniband EDR 7 m (980-9I13M-00E007)

The Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Infiniband EDR 7m is a factory-terminated QSFP28 multimode fiber link designed for short-reach 100 Gbps interconnects in modern data center environments. Using a four-lane 100GBASE-SR4 optical interface over multimode fiber, this 7-meter AOC provides a compact, energy-efficient connection between QSFP28 ports on switches, servers and storage systems. The cable delivers full support for Infiniband EDR and standard Ethernet 100GBASE-SR4 traffic, while retaining the QSFP28 form factor for straightforward plug-and-play installation.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 Active Optical Cable combines low power consumption with high bandwidth density and a small physical footprint, enabling high-speed uplinks and aggregation without the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. The factory-assembled optical link reduces installation time and risk of connector contamination. The 7 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or adjacent-rack interconnects while keeping signal integrity over multimode fiber for short-reach topologies.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment vendor. The link should be recognized automatically by compatible network interfaces; verify link status and speed through the device management interface. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the cable and maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fiber to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this 7 m AOC for short-reach connections within the same data hall or adjacent racks. Confirm QSFP28 port compatibility and firmware support for AOC modules on both endpoints before deployment. Store and handle the cable following standard fiber-optic care: keep connectors capped when not in use and avoid exposure to dust and liquids.
