InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MFA1A00-C020-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 20 m Turquoise

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C020-TG-BO is a 20 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed 100GBASE-SR4 data transmission. The turquoise outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in dense cabling environments while the QSFP28-to-QSFP28 interface follows common MSA standards for compatibility with compatible hardware platforms. The cable provides simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, storage systems and other rack equipment where short-reach high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

The AOC construction delivers optical data transmission without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, enabling stable 100 Gbit/s links with low latency over a 20 m span. Compliance with QSFP28 MSA profiles and component selection from established suppliers supports long service life and broad interoperability. The integrated digital diagnostics/DOM capability allows monitoring of key parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit and receive power and temperature when the host platform supports DDM.

How to use

Install the MFA1A00-C020-TG-BO by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Verify that the connected hardware supports the 100GBASE-SR4 profile and, if monitoring is required, that the host devices support DDM/DOM to read diagnostic parameters. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; observe minimum bend radius recommendations from the system or cable vendor. Power and configuration are handled by the connected equipment according to its interface settings.
