BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable Aqua colour QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable in aqua is a 5 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data centre interconnects. It supports 100G transceiving over multimode fibre in accordance with MSA QSFP28 form-factor requirements and integrates transmitter and receiver optics in each connector to carry optical signals without separate SFP modules. The pre-assembled AOC design reduces installation steps and avoids patch cord mating or manual fibre termination.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a factory-terminated QSFP28-to-QSFP28 link that eliminates connector cleaning and patching required for loose-fibre assemblies, lowering installation time and operational effort. The cable conforms to established MSA standards and is manufactured using industry-grade optical and electronic components to ensure stable optical performance, compliance with digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) where supported, and long service life suitable for continuous data-centre operation.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on the intended devices (switches, routers, servers or storage systems) while the devices are powered down or following hot-plug guidelines from the device vendor. Verify link status and negotiated speed in the host system management interface. If available, enable or read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to monitor supply voltage, optical transmit/receive power, laser bias current and module temperature. Use appropriate cable routing to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility by confirming that your hardware explicitly supports QSFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM functionality if you intend to use digital diagnostics. Route the aqua-coloured cable to avoid tight bend radii, keep connectors free from dust when not installed, and follow the equipment vendor’s hot-plug and handling procedures to maintain reliable 100G links.
