BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 is a 1‑metre active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors designed for high‑speed links in data centres and networking racks. The cable supports 100G interconnects over InfiniBand and similar architectures, providing low latency transmission and predictable signal integrity. The aqua colour coding simplifies cable identification and rack organisation in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers a compact, low‑power solution for short‑reach 100G connections between switches, routers and servers. Its active optics maintain signal quality without the need for separate transceivers, reducing heat and space compared with equivalent electrical copper assemblies. The 1 m length minimises excess slack in tightly packed racks while allowing flexible port placement for equipment with QSFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• 100G InfiniBand links between servers and switches
• Short‑reach data centre interconnects and leaf‑spine architectures
• High‑performance computing clusters requiring low latency
• Patch connections in densely cabled rack environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (active optical cable)
• Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: multimode active optical fibre
• Colour coding: aqua for easy identification
• Typical use: short‑reach high‑speed interconnects

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector securely into the compatible QSFP28 ports on your equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are matched to QSFP28 ports that support 100G operation and that devices are powered down or follow hot‑plug guidelines provided by the equipment vendor. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid crushing or kinking the cable to preserve optical performance. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC for short‑reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. For longer distances select appropriate AOC lengths or fibre transceiver solutions. Keep connectors covered when not in use and follow standard electrostatic discharge precautions during handling.
