InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MFA1A00-C005-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 5 m Turquoise

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C005-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 5 m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for 100GBASE-SR4 class links. At 5 metres length and in a distinctive turquoise jacket, this InfiniBand/fibre optic cable delivers low-latency, high-throughput optical transmit and receive channels for data center and high-performance computing interconnects. It follows industry MSA guidance for QSFP28 AOC modules and includes digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of transmit/receive parameters when supported by the host hardware.

Advantages

The cable supports 100 Gbit/s aggregated data rates over parallel single-mode/ multimode fibre pairs using QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connectivity and is manufactured with high-quality optical components for long service life. As an AOC, it is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference and provides stable signal integrity across rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) report voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power values for convenient troubleshooting and monitoring when the connected device supports these functions.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or servers, ensuring correct orientation and securing any latch mechanisms according to the host device instructions. Verify that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the equipment management interface to read real-time diagnostic values. Route the cable within the rack or between adjacent racks to avoid sharp bends; observe the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm compatibility with the target hardware platform and enable device-side diagnostic monitoring where available. Avoid tight bundling and excessive bending; maintain clear labeling for cable management and use the distinctive turquoise color for quick identification of 100G QSFP28 AOC links.
