Designed for short-reach data center links, it simplifies cabling while supporting high bandwidth and reliable signal integrity.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable CBO 100G QSFP28 AOC 5m is a 5-metre high-speed interconnect designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand environments. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this BlueOptics AOC provides optical transmission for short-reach links in data centers, connecting switches, servers and storage systems while reducing electromagnetic interference and cable bulk compared with copper alternatives.
Advantages
The cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission over a 5 m optical link with power-efficient operation suitable for dense rack deployments. Its integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate pluggable modules, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with common 100G ports and supports reliable signal integrity for demanding data center traffic.
Suitable for
 Short-reach interconnects between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
 High-speed server-to-switch links in blade and rack servers
 Storage system connections requiring 100 Gbps throughput
 High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand or Ethernet at 100G
 Environments seeking reduced power consumption and improved cable management
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Data rate: 100 Gigabit per second
 Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
 Length: 5 metres
 Reach: Short-reach data center links
 Latency: Low-latency optical transmission
 Power: Integrated, power-efficient optical transceivers
How to use
Insert the QSFP28 connector ends into compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring connectors are fully seated and retention latches engage where present. No separate transceiver modules are required since the optical transceivers are built into the cable ends. Verify link status on connected devices and follow device vendor guidelines for port configuration and diagnostics. Handle the cable by the connector bodies and avoid tight bends to maintain optical performance.
Usage recommendations
Use this AOC in short-reach data center paths up to 5 m, maintain bend radius and avoid mechanical stress on connectors. Confirm QSFP28 port compatibility and firmware support on switches and servers before deployment to ensure full 100G operation.
