## Long description

The BlueOptics 980-9I13O-00E010-BO QSFP28 AOC is a 10 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable designed for high-speed data interconnects in data centres, server racks and network equipment. The cable uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends and supports reliable, low-latency signal transmission over a 10 metre reach. Its construction incorporates stainless steel elements and a blue outer jacket for mechanical resilience and easy identification in dense cabling environments.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable (AOC) delivers high-bandwidth performance suitable for applications requiring 100GbE-class connectivity or InfiniBand links while reducing electromagnetic interference typical of copper alternatives. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration provides direct attach simplicity without additional transceivers, and the stainless steel-reinforced design improves durability under repeated handling and rack routing. The blue jacket simplifies cable management and visual tracing in multi-cable installations.
Suitable for
 High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
 100GbE uplinks between switches and routers
 Direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centres
 Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links
Key specifications
 Cable length: 10 m
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Connectors: QSFP28 on both ends
 Weight: 0.15 kg
 Outer colour and materials: Blue jacket with stainless steel reinforcement
How to use
Ensure that the QSFP28 ports on both devices are powered down or support hot-plugging before insertion. Align each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status at the host or switch to confirm established connectivity. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius for AOCs. To remove, disengage the latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector or port.
Usage recommendations
For reliable long-term performance, route the cable away from sharp edges, maintain appropriate airflow in racks, and avoid coiling the AOC tightly. Use the blue colour to label and document connections in your network topology and periodically inspect connectors for contamination; clean with approved fibre-optic cleaning tools if necessary.
