## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO BlueOptics 470-ABQE QSFP28, 3 m length, supports 100 Gbit/s data rate with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends. Designed for high-speed short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers in data centres and enterprise networks. Offers low latency, compact form factor and plug-and-play compatibility for reliable 100G links.

## Long description

The CBO QSFP28 Active Optical Cable 3m 100 Gbit/s Male-to-Male BlueOptics 470-ABQE is a factory-terminated QSFP28 AOC designed for short-reach 100G connections in data centres and enterprise networks. With a 3 metre length and QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, this cable provides a compact, low-latency link between switches, routers and servers. The plug-and-play design removes the need for separate transceivers and simplifies deployment of 100G links while maintaining signal integrity over the specified distance.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable delivers a full 100 Gbit/s bandwidth with the small QSFP28 form factor, combining the performance of optical transmission with the convenience of a fixed-cable solution. The cable reduces power consumption compared with some electrical alternatives, offers predictable latency for time-sensitive applications, and occupies minimal rack space. Its factory-polished terminations and vendor-compatible interface ensure straightforward interoperability with QSFP28 ports that support AOC connections.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100G links between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
 Interconnects between routers and high-performance servers
 Server-to-switch uplinks in dense rack deployments
 Data centre fabrics requiring low-latency optical connections
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Data rate: 100 Gbit/s (aggregate)
 Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Length: 3 metres
 Colour: blue
 Typical use: short-reach 100G interconnects
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure devices are powered and configured to recognise AOC links; most modern switches and servers will auto-negotiate the 100G link. Avoid sharp bends and strong mechanical stress on the cable jacket; maintain the specified bend radius to preserve optical performance. For removal, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damage to the port or cable.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m QSFP28 AOC for connections within racks or between adjacent racks where a compact, low-latency 100G solution is required. Verify QSFP28 port compatibility with vendor documentation and keep firmware or driver updates current to ensure best interoperability.
