## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP28 model 980-9I13J-00E005-BO is a 5 m high-speed interconnect supporting 100GBASE-SR4 and Infiniband EDR standards. Designed for data center and high-performance computing links, it provides a QSFP28 form-factor connection for short-reach 100 Gbps links between switches, servers and NICs with optical transmission.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Infiniband EDR 5 m is a factory-terminated optical interconnect designed for short-reach 100 Gbps links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates a QSFP28 plug on each end and supports 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR signalling over multimode fiber, delivering low-latency, low-power optical transmission for connections between switches, servers and network interface cards.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable offers a compact QSFP28 form factor with the electrical and optical performance required for 100 Gbps short-reach links while reducing weight and power consumption compared with copper assemblies. Being factory-terminated and tested, it ensures consistent optical performance and simplifies installation without field terminations. The multimode optical design provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable signal integrity across the specified 5 m reach.
Suitable for
100GBASE-SR4 short-reach Ethernet links between switches and servers
InfiniBand EDR connections in HPC clusters and storage fabrics
Inter-rack and intra-rack high-throughput data centre links up to 5 m
Direct optical connections to QSFP28-compatible NICs and line cards
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
Supported standards: 100GBASE-SR4, InfiniBand EDR
Length: 5 m
Medium: multimode active optical cable
Data rate: up to 100 Gbps
Typical use: short-reach data centre and HPC interconnects
How to use
Install the cable by seating each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switch, server or NIC until the latch engages. Ensure ports are compatible with 100GBASE-SR4 or InfiniBand EDR and that device firmware or driver settings allow the intended link speed and mode. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding tight radii and mechanical stress; secure with cable ties or guides to prevent strain on the connectors. No field termination or optical cleaning beyond standard connector inspection is required.
Usage recommendations
Verify port compatibility and link settings before installation, handle connectors by the housing to avoid contamination, and maintain bend radius recommendations from equipment vendors. Use this 5 m AOC for short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks where a factory-terminated optical solution improves reliability and reduces electromagnetic susceptibility.
