InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics GPDZA6G-BO QSFP28 AOC 2 m Aqua

The BlueOptics GPDZA6G-BO QSFP28 AOC 2 m Aqua is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 100GBASE-SR4 applications. At 2 metres length and an aqua jacket colour, this AOC delivers high-speed optical transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, suitable for short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks in data centres and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and is manufactured using high-quality optical lasers and integrated circuits to provide stable 100 Gbps connectivity. The cable supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels, offers digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, laser currents, optical power and temperature when supported by host hardware, and is engineered for long operational lifetime and high availability.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network switches, routers, or server adapters. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully seated until the latch engages. Verify that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and that any required firmware or software compatibility is in place. If your host device supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring, use the management interface to read real-time diagnostic data for link health and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the AOC to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for AOC assemblies. Use this 2 m cable for short-reach optical links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm host compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM support in your management tools when diagnostics are required.
