## Summary description

Active optical cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M by CBO, 5 m length, supporting 100G data rate. Designed for high-speed optical interconnects between QSFP28 ports in switches, routers and servers. Provides low-latency, energy-efficient connectivity for data centers, HPC and enterprise networks where short-reach 100G links are required.

## Long description

The AOC cable CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M 100G 5 m is an active optical cable designed for short-reach 100 Gigabit links between QSFP28 ports. It implements a pre-terminated QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection in a single assembly, enabling direct high-speed optical interconnects between switches, routers and servers without separate transceivers or patch cords. With a 5 m length and integrated optics, the cable supports low-latency, energy-efficient data transmission suitable for dense rack and row-level networking in data centers and enterprise environments.
Advantages
This BlueOptics AOC offers a compact, lightweight design with integrated transceiver electronics that reduce power consumption compared to discrete optical transceivers plus patch cords. The all-in-one assembly minimizes signal loss and simplifies installation, removing the need for fiber patching and reducing potential points of failure. The 100G QSFP28 interface provides multi-lane high-bandwidth throughput with consistent latency characteristics, while the 5 m length is optimized for intra-rack and short inter-rack connectivity.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100G connections between QSFP28 ports in top-of-rack and leaf switches
 Server-to-switch uplinks in data center and HPC racks
 Interconnects in enterprise aggregation and core network equipment within the same room or adjacent racks
 Environments where low latency and reduced power consumption are required
Key specifications
 Interface: QSFP28 to QSFP28, 100 Gigabit
 Type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated optics and electronics
 Length: 5 meters
 Reach: Short-reach links optimized for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections
 Latency: Low latency suitable for data center and HPC applications
 Power: Energy-efficient design compared with discrete transceiver and patch cord setups
 Form factor: Pluggable QSFP28 connectors on both ends
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network equipment until the latch engages. No separate transceivers or fiber patch panels are required; the integrated assembly requires only the two QSFP28 ports. Ensure that ports are compatible with QSFP28 100G AOC modules and that link settings on connected devices (speed, lane mapping, and FEC if applicable) are configured according to equipment vendor guidelines. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress along the cable to preserve optical performance.
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, use the cable within its specified 5 m length for intra-rack or short inter-rack connections, maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer, and verify QSFP28 compatibility with the networking hardware. Where available, consult switch and server vendor compatibility lists to ensure full functionality and optimal link parameters.
