Καλώδιο AOC BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-CABLE-7M-BO 7m QSFP28 Βύσμα/Βύσμα

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP28-CABLE-7M-BO is a 7-meter active optical cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports multi-lane 100GbE interconnects commonly used in data centres and high-performance computing racks. Its optical active design reduces electrical interference and offers a compact, low-power alternative to discrete transceivers plus fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers consistent 100GbE performance over a 7 m reach while minimizing signal degradation and heat generation. By integrating the optical transceivers into the cable ends, it simplifies rack cabling and reduces the number of separate components to manage. The QSFP28 male-to-male format ensures plug-and-play connectivity with compatible switches, servers and NICs, and the optical medium provides immunity to electromagnetic interference for stable links in dense environments.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections at 100GbE
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine architectures in enterprise networks
• Short-reach backbone links where active optical cables are preferred over separate transceivers and patch cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Nominal length: 7 metres
• Supported data rate: 100 Gbit/s (QSFP28 multi-lane configuration)
• Transmission medium: Optical fibres with integrated transceiver modules
• Typical use: Short-reach high-speed interconnects in racks and chassis

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding equipment port until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support QSFP28 and are configured for the same link speed and lane mapping. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive stress on the connectors; follow equipment vendor bend-radius guidance for optical cables. After physical installation, verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm throughput and error rates using standard network diagnostics.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in clean, dry conditions and avoid kinking. For reliable operation maintain proper airflow around connected equipment and periodically inspect connector ends for contamination before mating; clean with manufacturer-recommended fibre cleaning tools if necessary.
