Fiber optic cable BlueOptics R5Z81A-BO QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m Turquoise

The BlueOptics R5Z81A-BO QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for 200GBASE-SR4 short-reach high-speed links. It provides a direct QSFP56-to-QSFP56 connection over 10 metres in a turquoise jacket and is compatible with hardware that supports QSFP56 interfaces and MSA-defined AOC modules. The cable transmits and receives optical signals using integrated laser modules and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) in systems that expose this functionality.

Advantages

This AOC offers high data throughput and immunity to electromagnetic interference thanks to optical transmission, making it suitable for dense data centre environments. Built to MSA standards with quality components such as industry-grade lasers and ICs, the cable is factory-tested for interoperability and long service life. Integrated DDM/DOM enables real-time monitoring of operating parameters where supported by host hardware.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP56 connector to the corresponding QSFP56 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the ports and host hardware support QSFP56 AOCs and the 200GBASE-SR4 profile. Handle the fiber cable by the connector housings; avoid tight bends or crushing the cable jacket. Verify link state and diagnostics via the host system; if DDM/DOM is supported by the hardware, use the host management tools to view real-time optical parameters such as transmit/receive power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use the cable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections up to 10 m and avoid routing near sharp edges or in areas with excessive mechanical stress. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and firmware versions before deployment and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if continuous link diagnostics are required.
