InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 00MP544-BO 10 m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics 00MP544-BO is a 10 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links, it supports 100G data transmission over multimode fiber using an integrated transmitter and receiver on each end and follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 form-factor specifications. The cable is intended for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments where low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a pre-assembled optical connection that reduces the need for patching and avoids issues related to electromagnetic interference. Built to the same MSA standards as industry reference designs, it is compatible with hardware platforms that support QSFP28 100G AOC connections. Integrated digital diagnostics enable real-time monitoring of optical parameters when the host supports the DDM/DOM interface, helping with remote troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• 100G uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and interconnects
• Storage system interconnects and SAN fabrics
• Short-reach optical links inside server racks and wiring closets

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber transmission
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Length: 10 meters
• Form factor compliance: QSFP28 MSA-compatible
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00MP544-BO by plugging each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices while the equipment is powered down if recommended by the device vendor. Once connected and the devices are powered, the AOC establishes the optical link automatically; LED indicators and host interfaces normally reflect link status. If the host supports DDM/DOM, use the management interface to read real-time diagnostic values such as supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach optical interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable; follow standard fiber handling practices and verify host compatibility for QSFP28 AOCs and DDM/DOM support before deployment.
