BlueOptics JNP-QSFP28-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel 3 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics JNP-QSFP28-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for 100G short-reach applications. The cable integrates transceivers on each end to transmit and receive optical signals over multimode fiber and follows MSA-defined QSFP28 physical specifications. It is intended for high-speed interconnects in data centers and network environments where a reliable direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 link is required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a fixed-length, low-latency 100G connection with QSFP28 male-to-male connectivity, eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords. The integrated transmitter and receiver reduce power consumption and simplify installation compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber patch cable assemblies. Conformance to MSA physical form-factor standards ensures compatibility with hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOCs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links between switches and routers within a rack or across adjacent racks
• High-performance server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) links
• High-throughput InfiniBand or Ethernet aggregation links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 3 metres
• Data rate support: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable with integrated TX/RX modules
• Fiber: multimode optical transmission for short-reach applications
• Form factor: QSFP28 according to MSA physical specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 100G or the intended protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or InfiniBand). The AOC is a fixed-length, hot-pluggable link; no additional transceiver modules or patch cords are required. Verify compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported AOC list if device-level vendor locking is a concern.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings; avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the optical cable. Use this 3 m AOC for short, direct interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. For longer distances or different media types consult cabling standards and choose appropriate transceivers or cables.
