The cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity and simplified cabling without transceivers.

## Long description

CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 20m Male/Male is an active optical cable designed for direct 100 Gbit/s connections between QSFP28 ports. With a 20-meter length and integrated QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable provides a single-cable solution for high-density aggregation, server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centers and enterprise networks. The active optical design removes the need for separate transceivers and supports low-latency, high-bandwidth traffic while keeping cable routing simple and space-efficient.
Advantages
The active optical construction ensures stable 100 Gbit/s throughput with low insertion loss and reduced heat compared to transceiver-based solutions. By combining the optical transceiver elements into the cable assemblies, the product reduces component count and simplifies installation and maintenance. The fixed 20 m length allows flexible placement in medium-sized racks or between adjacent equipment rows while preserving signal integrity over the full distance.
Suitable for
 Top-of-rack and end-of-row aggregation in data centers
 Direct server-to-switch 100G connections
 Switch-to-switch uplinks within the same facility or campus network
 High-bandwidth fabric interconnects for storage and compute clusters
Key specifications
 Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
 Length: 20 meters
 Latency: low-latency design suitable for high-performance networking
 Deployment: intended for short to medium-range direct QSFP28 interconnects
How to use
Install the cable by plugging each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on switches or servers. Ensure that ports are powered and configured to accept 100G links; the active optical cable negotiates link parameters automatically with compliant hardware. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and electromagnetic interference sources. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required when using this direct AOC assembly.
Usage recommendations
Validate compatibility with the host equipment vendor's QSFP28 port specifications before deployment. Maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For high-density installations, plan airflow and cable management to preserve cooling performance and ensure consistent 100G operation.
