Outstanding performance with the BlueOptics BO282803L5M 5-metre active optical cable (AOC) from CBO, featuring a four-channel 100 Gb/s QSFP28 transceiver connection for distances of up to 100 metres over multimode fibre optic cables. The BlueOptics BO282803L5M 5-metre active optical high-performance cables have a flame-retardant LSZH fibre sheath (halogen-free, with low smoke emission in case of fire). Compared to Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable solutions, the hot-pluggable active optical cables offer greater flexibility and lighter weight. The QSFP28 connectors include a built-in E/O and O/E converter, which transforms the electrical signal into an optical signal. This signal is then converted back into an electrical signal and output at the other end of the active optical cable. The QSFP28 transceiver connections of each BlueOptics BO282803L5M 5-metre active optical cable are manufactured according to MSA standards, taking into account the SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3ba specifications.
