Network Cable BlueOptics MFA1A00-C003-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 3m Turquoise

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C003-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 3m Turquoise is a 3‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for 100G data transmission. Engineered to meet MSA QSFP28 interface standards, this turquoise cable supports 100GBASE‑SR4 applications and InfiniBand environments, providing optical send and receive functions over fiber. The AOC design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables reliable links between switches, routers, storage systems and other high‑performance network devices across adjacent racks or within the same rack.

Advantages

The MFA1A00‑C003‑TG‑BO offers a plug‑and‑play QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection that supports full duplex optical transmission and integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time status data such as supply voltage, laser power and temperature. Manufactured to MSA compatibility guidelines and assembled with high‑quality optical components, the cable provides long service life and high availability for data center and HPC deployments. Its AOC construction enables stable 100G performance with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor guidelines. No additional transceivers or fiber patch cords are required for direct QSFP28 to QSFP28 links. If you intend to access digital diagnostics, confirm that the host hardware or driver supports DDM/DOM and use the device management interface to read parameters such as laser output power, input power and temperature.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housing and avoid sharp bends or excessive tensile stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Verify host compatibility (firmware/drivers) for guaranteed operation and DDM visibility. Use the cable for short‑reach 100G connections as specified and avoid extended runs beyond recommended distances for SR4 optics.
