## Summary description

The BlueOptics 980-9I130-00C050-BO is a 50 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable featuring QSFP28 connectors. This AOC cable is designed for high-speed data transmission, ensuring reliable performance in data centers and networking environments. Its durable stainless steel construction and blue color make it both robust and visually appealing, suitable for various applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics 980-9I130-00C050-BO QSFP28 AOC 50 m is an active optical cable (AOC) engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre-optic connections. At 50 metres length, this blue cable connects QSFP28 ports and supports low-latency, high-throughput links commonly required in data centres, HPC clusters and enterprise networking racks. The construction combines optical fibres with a durable stainless-steel reinforced outer jacket for mechanical resilience while maintaining signal integrity over the full cable run.
Advantages
This AOC provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, enabling stable transmission over longer distances without active transceivers at each end. The QSFP28 connectors deliver compatibility with 100Gb/s and compatible InfiniBand port types, and the factory-assembled cable ensures consistent performance and low insertion loss. The blue colour and stainless-steel reinforced jacket aid visual identification and improved durability in dense cabling environments.
Suitable for
 Data centre uplinks and inter-rack connections
 High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand
 Storage networks and SAN interconnects requiring high bandwidth
 Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch QSFP28 links
Key specifications
 Cable length: 50 m
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Connectors: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Typical supported interface: QSFP28 class for 100Gb/s and compatible InfiniBand ports
 Outer construction: stainless-steel reinforced jacket with blue colouring
 Weight: 0.15 kg
How to use
Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are clean and free of debris before connection to prevent contamination of optical interfaces. Route the cable along rack guides or cable management channels to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius. For hot-pluggable systems, connect or disconnect while equipment is powered following your data centre procedures.
Usage recommendations
For reliable long-term operation, avoid tight bends and avoid excessive compression of the cable jacket. Label both ends for quick identification in dense installations and inspect connector end-faces periodically with an appropriate optical inspection tool. Use strain relief and secure routing to minimise mechanical stress on QSFP28 connector housings.
