BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m Male

The BlueOptics QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m Male is a 30‑metre active optical cable designed for high‑speed 100 Gigabit interconnects. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, the cable supports short to medium reach links in data centres and high performance computing racks where low latency and high throughput are required. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a lightweight fibre assembly in a single pre‑terminated unit, offering plug‑and‑play connectivity for compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC provides high data throughput and low electrical interference compared with copper alternatives, while keeping power consumption and heat generation low due to its optical design. The integrated connectors and factory‑terminated assembly reduce installation time and risk of connector damage. Its 30 m length balances flexibility for rack‑to‑rack links with predictable signal performance, and the cable is suitable for dense cabling environments because of its compact form factor.

Suitable for

• 100G InfiniBand links between switches or server NICs
• Top‑of‑rack to aggregation or spine connections in data centres
• High performance computing clusters and storage interconnects
• Environments requiring low latency, high throughput optical cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Nominal length: 30 metres
• Transmission rate: 100 Gbps
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) suitable for InfiniBand use
• Form factor: Integrated transceiver with pre‑terminated optical assembly
• Typical application: Short to medium reach data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support 100G AOC QSFP28 modules and are powered off or operating per vendor hot‑swap guidelines. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension along the cable; route it through appropriate cable management to maintain the recommended bend radius. Verify link negotiation and speed settings on connected equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm compatibility with the host devices’ QSFP28 ports and firmware, maintain an appropriate bend radius during routing, and avoid exposure to mechanical stress or sharp edges. Use the 30 m length for rack‑to‑rack or short aggregation spans where optical performance and reduced EMI are desired.
