Fiber optic cable BlueOptics R5Z81-63001-BO QSFP56 — 10 m, InfiniBand/fibre, turquoise

BlueOptics R5Z81-63001-BO QSFP56 — 10 m is a 10-metre active fiber optic cable with QSFP56 connectors on both ends designed for InfiniBand and high-speed 200GBASE-SR4 optical links. The cable follows MSA standard pinouts and supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over multimode fiber. Color-coded turquoise for easy identification, it is intended for data center interconnects, server-to-switch links and other high-bandwidth networking environments where a QSFP56 to QSFP56 active optical cable (AOC) is required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a factory-tested solution compatible with common hardware platforms that support QSFP56 200GBASE-SR4 connections. Built using components selected for long service life and conformity with MSA standards, it provides predictable performance, reduced susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and a built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) interface for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature and optical power. The turquoise jacket improves cable management and identification in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on the network devices until it clicks into place. Ensure both devices support the 200GBASE-SR4 / QSFP56 interface and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, verify that the host hardware reads diagnostic data. Route the turquoise cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and compressive forces; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress. When removing, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack 200G connections where short-reach multimode fiber is appropriate. Verify device compatibility with QSFP56 MSA interfaces and enable DDM/DOM in supported equipment for remote monitoring. Store unused cables coiled loosely and avoid repeated tight bends to preserve optical performance and service life.
