Network Cable BlueOptics MFA1A00-C007-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 7m Turquoise

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C007-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 7m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short-reach connections. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends and a 7 meter turquoise jacket, the cable supports 100GBASE-SR4 optical transmission and is compatible with hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOC modules. The fiber-optic design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, routers, storage systems and compute nodes.

Advantages

This 7 m QSFP28 AOC offers native 100G transmission performance suitable for InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet environments while maintaining compliance with MSA QSFP28 form-factor expectations. The optical construction provides immunity to EMI and supports a long service life by using high-quality optical components. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser currents, optical output/input power and temperature when supported by the host device. The turquoise color simplifies cable identification in dense cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on both ends until the latch engages. Verify that the host devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and, if required, ensure any vendor compatibility settings are applied in switches or servers. If diagnostics are needed, enable or query the DDM/DOM interface from the host management system to read supply voltage, laser current and optical power parameters. Route the 7 m turquoise cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the vendor.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC for short-reach 100G links where QSFP28 ports are available and where immunity to electromagnetic interference is desired. Confirm host compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and DDM/DOM support before deployment. Avoid tight bends and excessive connector handling to preserve the service life of the optical cable.
