## Summary description

Active optical cable (AOC) CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L20M delivers 100G connectivity over a 20 meter pre-terminated optical link. Designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects using QSFP28 ports, it provides low-latency, electromagnetic interference immunity and simplified cabling without transceivers. Intended for data center and enterprise network trunking and short-reach links.

## Long description

The AOC cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L20M 100G is an active optical cable delivering 100 gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a 20 meter pre-terminated optical link. Designed for direct attachment between QSFP28 ports, this cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and provides a single, factory-terminated link for high-density deployments in data centers and enterprise network racks. The construction ensures low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while the cable length supports mid-span trunking and short-reach interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices.
Advantages
This active optical cable offers high bandwidth at 100G through a single QSFP28 interface and simplifies installation by using a pre-terminated, plug-and-play design. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electrical noise and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives, and the AOC form factor lowers power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus DAC combinations. With a 20 m reach, the cable supports flexible placement of equipment within racks and across adjacent aisles, helping to reduce cabling complexity and improve airflow in dense network environments.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100G links between servers and top-of-rack or leaf switches
High-density data centre trunking and inter-rack connectivity
Storage area network interconnects requiring low latency and high throughput
Aggregating traffic between aggregation switches and spine/leaf fabrics
Key specifications
Interface: QSFP28 to QSFP28
Data rate: 100 Gbit/s
Type: Active optical cable (AOC)
Length: 20 metres
Media: Multi-fibre optical link with factory-terminated connectors
Latency: Low, suitable for latency-sensitive links
Immunity: Resistant to electromagnetic interference
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. No separate transceivers are required. Ensure spare cable bend radius is observed and avoid tight bends or kinks; route the cable along trays or through cable managers to maintain airflow and access. Verify link negotiation and speed on connected devices; the link should present as a 100G interface when supported by both endpoints. For hot-plug operations, follow your equipment manufacturer's guidance for link bring-up.
Usage recommendations
Use this 20 m AOC for short-reach, high-density connections inside data centres. Keep the cable away from high-temperature zones and sharp edges, maintain the manufacturer‑specified bend radius, and document port pairs for maintenance. For longer distances or mixed-vendor compatibility concerns, verify QSFP28 port support and firmware compatibility before deployment.
