## Summary description

AOC Cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M is a 5-meter active optical cable designed for 100G connectivity. It uses QSFP28 interfaces for direct high-speed links between compatible switches, routers or servers. Intended for short-reach data center and enterprise interconnects, it delivers high bandwidth with low latency and simplified cabling.

## Long description

The AOC Cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M 100G 5m is an active optical cable engineered for 100 gigabit connectivity over a 5-meter link. Designed with QSFP28 interfaces on both ends, this cable enables direct high-speed connections between compatible switches, routers and servers without transceivers, reducing the number of separate components in short-reach network topologies. Suited for data center and enterprise environments, the cable provides consistent bandwidth and low latency for demanding applications.
Advantages
This BlueOptics active optical cable offers native QSFP28 compatibility for 100G links, a fixed 5 m length for predictable channel planning, and optical transmission that reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives. By integrating the optics into the cable assembly, it simplifies installation and minimizes the space and power footprint compared with separate transceivers. The design supports reliable high-throughput data transport for densely cabled rack and switch environments.
Suitable for
Short-reach data center interconnects between 100G-capable switches and routers
Direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in enterprise networks
High-performance computing clusters and storage area network links requiring 100G bandwidth
Environments that require reduced latency and predictable cable behavior
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
Data rate: 100 Gbps
Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
Length: 5 meters
Typical use: short-reach interconnects for racks and top-of-rack switches
Benefits: low latency, immunity to EMI, reduced crosstalk compared with copper
How to use
Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port on compatible networking equipment until the latch engages. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm that the ports are configured for 100G operation in the device firmware or operating system. No separate transceivers are required; the integrated optical modules within the cable handle signal conversion. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain proper airflow in rack enclosures.
Usage recommendations
Ensure connected hardware explicitly supports QSFP28 active optical cables and 100G speeds; check vendor compatibility lists if available. Avoid tight bending radii and protect connector ends when not in use. For dense installations, label both ends to simplify maintenance and verify firmware settings after installation to confirm link negotiation and diagnostics.
