BlueOptics JNP-QSFP28-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 25m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-QSFP28-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 25m Male/Male is a 25‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for 100G high‑speed links and compatible with platforms that support the Juniper JNP‑QSFP28‑AOC‑25M form factor, this multi‑mode fibre AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to transmit optical signals over a 25 m distance. It supports common high‑speed protocols used in data centres and networking environments where a QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides 100G class data transfer over multi‑mode fibre using an integrated transceiver architecture, ensuring a single assembly for both transmit and receive functions. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, it enables direct QSFP28 to QSFP28 connections without additional transceivers or patch panels when compatible equipment is used. The 25 m length offers extended reach within racks and between adjacent rack rows while maintaining signal integrity for InfiniBand, Ethernet and other supported protocols.

Suitable for

• 100G QSFP28 uplinks between switches and routers in data centres
• High‑speed server to switch or storage interconnects over short to medium distances
• InfiniBand and Ethernet fabric connections where QSFP28 AOC solutions are supported
• Network equipment deployments that list compatibility with the Juniper JNP‑QSFP28‑AOC‑25M form factor

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Length: 25 metres
• Optical medium: multi‑mode fibre
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbps
• Protocols supported: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET and InfiniBand‑compatible high‑speed links

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking devices, ensuring proper orientation and that the host hardware supports the corresponding AOC form factor. Verify link status and interface configuration on the devices after installation. No separate SFP/QSFP transceivers are required because the cable contains integrated optical modules; handle connectors by their housing and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for multi‑mode AOC assemblies.

Usage recommendations

Use this active optical cable in equipment that explicitly supports the corresponding QSFP28 AOC form factor to ensure compatibility. For reliable long‑term operation, avoid excessive bending, tension, and exposure to sources of mechanical damage or strong electromagnetic interference. When integrating into existing networks, confirm that device firmware and interface settings match the 100G link requirements.
