## Summary description

Active Optical Cable by CBO, BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M, 100G rated, 5-meter length. Designed for high-speed 100 Gigabit links between QSFP28 ports, this AOC provides optical transmission without separate transceivers, reducing power and space requirements. Suitable for data center interconnects, switch-to-switch or server-to-switch connections where short-reach 100G connectivity is needed.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M 100G 5m is a factory-assembled QSFP28 AOC designed for short-reach 100 Gigabit links. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a fiber link within a single QSFP28 connectorized assembly, enabling direct connections between compatible QSFP28 ports without separate SFP/QSFP transceivers. With a 5-meter length and 100G aggregate bandwidth, it is intended for high-density data center environments, switch-to-switch interconnects, and server-to-switch connections where low latency, low power consumption and space savings are priorities.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable reduces power and rack space compared with discrete transceiver plus patch cable solutions by combining optics and fiber into one module. It supports native 100G signaling over a short reach with inherent optical isolation and simplified deployment, eliminating the need to install separate optical transceivers and patch cords. The integrated design yields consistent performance, predictable link characteristics and reduced inventory complexity for networks using QSFP28 ports.
Suitable for
 Data center switch-to-switch aggregation and spine-leaf connections
 Server-to-switch 100G uplinks in dense rack deployments
 High-performance computing and virtualization clusters requiring low-latency links
 Top-of-rack uplinks where short-reach 100G connectivity is required
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
 Rated data rate: 100 Gigabits per second aggregate
 Length: 5.0 meters
 Cable type: Active optical cable (factory-terminated fiber with integrated transceivers)
 Typical use: Short-reach, multimode-equivalent optical link for 100G interconnects
 Power profile: Low power compared to discrete transceiver solutions (integrated optics)
How to use
Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on each device while the ports are powered and recognized by the host. Verify that the network devices support QSFP28 AOC connectivity and the intended 100G mode (for example, native 100G or breakout configurations if applicable). Ensure the cable routing avoids tight bends and mechanical stress; secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. After insertion, confirm link status and interface statistics via the switch or server management interface to verify proper operation.
Usage recommendations
Use this 5 m QSFP28 AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor's supported AOC list when strict interoperability is required. Avoid bending the fiber below the minimum bend radius and protect the connectors with dust caps when not in use. For cable runs beyond short-reach distances, consider optical modules with separate fiber or alternative transceiver types suited for longer reach.
