## Summary description

BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC compatible with IBM (MPN EB5T) is a 10 m active optical cable for 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet connections. It provides a QSFP28 interface for direct 100 Gbps connectivity over multimode fiber, suitable for data center switches, servers and high-speed uplinks where short-reach 100G links are required.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP28 compatible AOC for 100GBASE-SR4 is a 10 m active optical cable designed for short-reach 100 Gbps Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It features a QSFP28 connector for direct high-speed connectivity between switches, servers and network appliances in data center and enterprise environments. The cable supports standardized 100GBASE-SR4 signaling and is intended for reliable, low-latency aggregation and uplink connections where fiber runs are relatively short.
Advantages
The BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC delivers a compact, energy-efficient solution for 100 Gbps links with integrated transceivers, eliminating the need for separate pluggable modules. Its fixed cable assembly reduces connector loss and simplifies deployment compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber assemblies. With a 10 m length, it offers a balance between reach and cable management in racks and short interconnects, and its multimode fiber design is suitable for existing short-reach fiber infrastructures.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100 Gbps uplinks between data center switches and aggregation devices
 Direct server-to-switch high-bandwidth connections in rack and top-of-rack deployments
 High-density switch-to-switch interconnects where QSFP28 ports are available
 Environments using multimode fiber and 100GBASE-SR4 compliant links
When it may not be suitable
This 10 m AOC is intended for short-reach multimode deployments and is not suitable for long-distance or single-mode fiber applications. It is a fixed-length assembly; environments that require field-terminated fibers, flexible length cabling, or separate pluggable transceivers for hot-swap or cross-vendor port interchangeability may prefer modular transceiver options.
Key specifications
 Interface: QSFP28 connector
 Data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4)
 Media: Multimode active optical cable
 Length: 10 meters
 Reach type: Short-reach (data center / campus interconnects)
 Form factor: Integrated AOC assembly with fixed fibers and transceivers
How to use
Install the cable by plugging the QSFP28 ends into compatible QSFP28 ports on the network devices, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and the device ports are powered down or hot-plug supported according to vendor guidance. Verify link status through the switch or server management interface and confirm 100G link negotiation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius and secure the cable within rack pathways or cable managers to prevent accidental disconnection or damage.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm that your switches, servers or network devices support QSFP28 AOC compatibility and 100GBASE-SR4 signaling.
 Verify that your existing fiber infrastructure is multimode and appropriate for short-reach 100G links.
 Ensure 10 m length fits your rack layout and cable management plan; fixed length cannot be field adjusted.
 Check vendor compatibility or carrier lock policies if cross-vendor interoperability is required.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks, keep bends gentle, and monitor link status after installation. For longer distances or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate transceiver and fiber type.
