## Summary description

Active optical cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M by CBO, providing 100G connectivity over a 5-meter length. Designed for high-speed data centers and switch-to-switch links, it supports QSFP28 form-factor interfaces for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and similar applications. The plug-and-play cable reduces electrical cabling complexity and power consumption while enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between compatible QSFP28 ports.

## Long description

The AOC CBO BlueOptics QSFP28 BO282803L5M 100G active optical cable, 5 m is a factory-terminated, plug-and-play fiber interconnect designed for short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses a QSFP28 form factor to connect QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and network interface cards, providing a 5 metre optical link with low latency and reduced electrical cabling complexity. The cable is intended for modern data center environments where high bandwidth, stable signal integrity and lower power consumption are required.
Advantages
This active optical cable delivers 100G bandwidth over a 5 m optical link while minimizing electromagnetic interference and heat generated compared with equivalent electrical copper assemblies. The QSFP28 connector form factor ensures compatibility with standard 100 Gigabit transceivers and QSFP28 ports. As a factory-terminated AOC, it offers plug-and-play installation without field termination, reducing deployment time and the need for specialized tooling. The optical medium supports low-latency links and helps maintain signal integrity for switch-to-switch and rack-to-rack connections.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet switch-to-switch links in data centers
Connections between QSFP28-capable network interface cards and switches
High-density rack interconnects requiring reduced power and cabling bulk
Low-latency applications such as storage arrays, compute clusters, and high-performance networking
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP28 duplex optical interface
Data rate: 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G)
Media: active optical cable (AOC)
Length: 5 metres
Typical use: short-reach data center interconnects and switch fabric links
Performance characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth, immunity to EMI
How to use
Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on compatible switches, routers or network interface cards until the retention latch engages. No field termination or additional transceivers are required; the cable is recognized as a direct optical link by compliant equipment. For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Power down equipment only if required by the host device’s hot-swap guidelines when installing or removing the cable.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable in data center environments with compatible QSFP28 ports and verified 100G configurations. Avoid tight bends, excessive tensile stress and exposure to liquids or contaminants. Verify compatibility with switch firmware and port transceiver diagnostics if available to ensure correct link negotiation and monitoring.
