BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-10M-HU-BO Καλώδιο οπτικής ίνας InfiniBand 10 m

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-10M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10m is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed 100G data transmission over multi-mode fiber. Implementing the 100GBASE-SR4 transmission protocol and QSFP28 interface according to MSA standards, this AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the cable ends to deliver an assembled fiber connection without separate patch cords. The cable is intended for use in data center and enterprise network environments that require low latency and reliable 100G links between switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This AOC provides a pre-terminated QSFP28-to-QSFP28 optical link that reduces installation time and eliminates the need for field termination or manual fiber patching. As an active optical cable, it supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, is immune to electromagnetic interference, and offers reduced weight and increased flexibility compared with equivalent copper assemblies. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature when the host hardware exposes the interface.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Interconnects between 100G-capable routers, switches and storage arrays
• Short-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet 100GBASE-SR4 links within racks or adjacent racks
• Environments where EMI immunity and reduced latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (pre-assembled AOC)
• Nominal link speed: 100 Gbps (supports 100GBASE-SR4)
• Cable length: 10 meters
• Optical medium: multi-mode fiber with integrated transceivers
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 (host support required)
• Transmission: simultaneous transmit and receive channels via optical lasers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-10M-HU-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the QSFP28 ports of the devices to be connected. Ensure both devices support 100GBASE-SR4 or compatible 100G QSFP28 interfaces and that the host system supports AOC modules. Verify that the ports are powered down or follow your hardware vendor's hot-plug guidance; engage the connector until it latches. If DDM/DOM data is required, enable monitoring through the host management interface and confirm the hardware exposes diagnostic readout parameters. No field termination, polishing or external patch cords are required for normal operation.

Recommendations

If the network hardware requires vendor-specific firmware or compatibility settings for third-party AOCs, verify compatibility and test the cable in a non-production environment before wide deployment. Maintain the QSFP28 connector end-caps when the cable is not in use and avoid tight bends near the connectors to preserve optical performance.
