BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 25 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP28-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 25 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centre and networking environments. The cable implements QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectivity according to MSA guidelines and carries optical transmitters and receivers at each end over multimode fibre, enabling support for 100G data rates over a 25 m link. It is presented as compatible with systems that accept the corresponding 100GBASE-SR4 / QSFP28 AOC form factor and can be used where direct QSFP28 optical interconnects are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized QSFP28 AOC interface with male QSFP28 connectors on both ends, delivering reliable 100G-capable optical transmission over a 25 m reach. As an active optical cable, it integrates transceivers and optical fibre in one assembly to reduce the need for separate transceivers and patching, while offering low-latency multimode optical links suitable for high-throughput environments. Compatibility with equipment supporting the 100GBASE-SR4 / QSFP28 AOC form factor simplifies installation and reduces compatibility issues when used with supported hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch 100G interconnects within data centres
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand top-of-rack connections
• Storage area network links and high-speed aggregation layers

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fibre
• Nominal length: 25 metres
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s over 25 m
• Supported protocol families: Ethernet (100GBASE-SR4), Fibre Channel over Ethernet, InfiniBand-compatible links

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and the 100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent protocol. Avoid excessive bending of the cable; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. When removing the cable, press the release mechanism on the QSFP28 connector before withdrawing to avoid port damage. Verify link status on connected devices and consult device documentation for any required configuration or diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use in controlled data centre environments with proper cable management to maintain the cable’s bend radius and airflow. Confirm compatibility with host equipment that supports QSFP28 AOC modules and 100G optical links before deployment. For critical links, test the cable in your specific hardware combination to verify full functionality.
