InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics G90Y2M1-BO QSFP28 AOC 7 m Aqua

The BlueOptics G90Y2M1-BO QSFP28 AOC is a 7 m aqua-coloured active optical cable (AOC) designed for 100GBASE-SR4 applications. Equipped with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this InfiniBand/fibre optic cable provides high-speed optical transmission with low latency, intended for short-reach, high-throughput links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable implements transmit and receive optical channels and follows MSA QSFP28 mechanical and electrical conventions for broad platform compatibility.

Advantages

This AOC delivers 100 Gbps class performance with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives, using optical transmission for stable throughput and low latency. Built according to MSA guidelines, the cable is compatible with common server, switch and storage hardware that supports QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 interfaces. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature when supported by the host equipment. The robust assembly and quality components used in production are intended to provide long service life for demanding rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by plugging the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on the host devices, ensuring proper orientation and a secure latch engagement. Use this AOC for direct optical connections between QSFP28-capable switches, servers or storage devices; no external transceivers or patch cords are required. If monitoring is needed, confirm that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM to access diagnostic parameters. Route and secure the cable within racks to avoid excessive bending or tension and observe typical fibre handling precautions despite the cable's ruggedised assembly.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC in compatible hardware platforms that support 100GBASE-SR4 and DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid sharp kinks, and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain. For longer distances or different form factors, select an appropriate optical transceiver and fibre patching solution matched to the deployment.
