BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 2 m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with male QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100G data rates. It implements the QSFP28 AOC MSA standard and uses multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in data center and networking environments. The cable supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature, provided the host hardware supports these features.

Advantages

The design of this BlueOptics 2 m QSFP28 AOC provides a pre-terminated optical link that avoids patching and connector cleaning, reducing signal loss and installation time. Compliance with QSFP28 MSA standards ensures interoperability with hardware that supports QSFP28 AOCs, while the integrated DDM/DOM capability simplifies diagnostics and remote monitoring. Built from industry-grade optical components and ICs, the cable is intended for long operational life and high availability in continuous-operation environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches and routers
• High-speed links to storage systems and SANs
• Top-of-rack and short-reach data center connections (2 m)
• Low-latency InfiniBand or Ethernet 100G links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male)
• Length: 2 meters
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Optical type: Active Optical Cable using multimode fiber
• Supported protocols: 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Standards: QSFP28 AOC MSA compliant

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your networking equipment, ensuring the latch engages. Verify that the host hardware supports QSFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to access diagnostic information. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the factory-terminated assembly requires no additional polishing or patching.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC2M-BO for short-reach, high-throughput links within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and its firmware versions where vendor lock-in checks are present. Avoid repeated insertion and removal beyond normal service needs to maintain connector integrity and follow standard ESD precautions when handling fiber optic assemblies.
