## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP28 compatible with IBM 01FT726, supporting 100GBASE-SR4 multimode transmission at 100 Gbps over a 30 m link. Designed for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand interconnects, it integrates QSFP28 connectors for direct server, switch or storage connections in data centers and HPC environments.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC compatible with IBM 01FT726 is an active optical cable engineered for 100GBASE-SR4 multimode links. The cable supports 100 Gbps data rates across a 30 m multimode fiber span and uses QSFP28 form-factor connectors for direct attachment to switches, servers and storage systems. It is intended for dense data center and HPC environments where short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects are required for Ethernet and InfiniBand applications.
Advantages
This active optical cable delivers high aggregate bandwidth with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. The integrated QSFP28 connectors simplify installation and hot-plugging in data center racks. With multimode fiber optics and built-in transceivers, the AOC provides stable 100G transmission over a 30 m link while reducing cable weight and improving airflow in dense installations.
Suitable for
 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and spine/leaf topologies
 High-performance computing (HPC) interconnects using InfiniBand or Ethernet fabrics
 Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-reach links up to 30 m
 Storage area network (SAN) uplinks and aggregation ports requiring 100G bandwidth
When it may not be suitable
This AOC is designed for short-reach multimode links and is not suitable for long-haul or single-mode fiber runs. It may not be compatible with devices that require proprietary optical or firmware authentication if those devices enforce vendor-locked modules. Ensure your host ports support QSFP28 AOC compatibility before deployment.
Key specifications
 Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregate (100GBASE-SR4)
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Optical type: multimode fiber
 Maximum link length: 30 meters (multimode)
 Use case: Ethernet and InfiniBand short-reach interconnects
 Form factor: integrated active optical cable with transceivers
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by aligning the QSFP28 connector latch with the port receptacle on your switch or server and pressing until the latch engages. Repeat on the other end for the remote device. The cable is hot-pluggable; however, follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for transceiver insertion and removal to avoid port or software issues. After physical connection, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and monitor for errors during initial operation.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm physical compatibility: host ports must support QSFP28 AOC modules
 Check that your deployment uses multimode fiber and that 30 m reach meets your topology
 Verify vendor policies regarding third-party optics or AOCs to ensure interoperability
 Ensure network equipment firmware is up to date to support QSFP28 active optical cables
Usage recommendations
Route and secure the cable to avoid excessive bending; maintain minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Use in temperature-controlled data center environments and avoid exposure to contaminants or mechanical stress. Monitor link integrity after installation and keep device firmware current to maintain compatibility.
