## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP28, model 980-9I13X-00C005-BO, provides 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet connectivity over a 5 meter duplex optical link. Designed as a direct-attach solution for data center and high-performance networking equipment with QSFP28 ports, it supports 100 Gbps multimode transmission and simplifies short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers.

## Long description

The Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet, 5 m is a factory-terminated duplex optical link intended for short-reach 100 Gbps multimode connections. Designed for direct attachment to QSFP28 ports, this AOC provides a single, pre-assembled cable solution that eliminates separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. The 5 meter length and multimode design make it suitable for typical data centre top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects, supporting high-bandwidth traffic between switches, routers and servers while reducing cable management complexity.
Advantages
The cable integrates transceiver optics and fibre into one pre-tested assembly, ensuring consistent signal performance and simplified deployment. Its multimode 100GBASE-SR4 operation supports high throughput with low latency over short distances and reduces power and space compared with separate module-plus-patch-cord setups. The AOC design offers predictable electrical and optical parameters, lower insertion effort and fewer components to manage in dense networking environments.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100 Gbps links within racks and between adjacent racks in data centres
Direct connectivity between QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and high-performance servers
Environments where reduced cabling complexity and reliable multimode transmission are required
Key specifications
Interface: QSFP28 to QSFP28 duplex active optical cable
Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregated multimode transmission
Transmission standard: 100GBASE-SR4 multimode
Cable length: 5 metres
Design: Factory-terminated, pre-tested AOC assembly for short-reach links
How to use
Install the AOC by plugging each QSFP28 connector into matching QSFP28 ports on the equipment to be connected. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to support 100GBASE-SR4 operation. Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid sharp bends along the fibre region; observe equipment manufacturer guidelines for port insertion and removal. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required, which simplifies setup and reduces installation steps.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable within the supported 5 m distance for multimode short-reach applications and avoid routing through areas with excessive mechanical stress or tight bend radii. Verify that connected devices support QSFP28 and the 100GBASE-SR4 standard; consult device compatibility lists where necessary to ensure proper link training and full 100 Gbps operation.
