BlueOptics MFA7A50-C010 Compatible Active Optical Cable QSFP28 10m

The BlueOptics MFA7A50-C010 is a high-performance, compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. This 10-meter cable features QSFP28 connectors on both ends, providing a reliable and energy-efficient solution for data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional copper cables, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. With low power consumption of less than 4.5W per end and hot-pluggable capability, it simplifies deployment and reduces operational costs. The LSZH jacket ensures safety in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise network backbone
• InfiniBand EDR environments
• Mellanox QSFP28 compatible devices
