Network Cable BlueOptics MFA1A00-C010-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 10m Turquoise

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C010-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 10m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100GBASE-SR4 links and short-range high-speed data transmission. With a 10 meter length and a turquoise jacket, this AOC implements laser-based optical transmit and receive channels to ensure stable 100 Gbit/s connectivity between compatible network devices. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 interfaces and is suitable for integration in data center and high-performance computing environments where reliable, low-latency fiber links are required.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces signal loss over the 10 m span and avoids electromagnetic interference, providing consistent bandwidth and lower latency compared with copper alternatives at similar distances. Built and tested to MSA interface standards, the cable supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature when used with supporting host hardware. Components selected for production are sourced from established optical and IC manufacturers to deliver extended service life and high availability in critical network links.

How to use

Install the QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port on host devices until it locks. Ensure host interfaces support 100GBASE-SR4 and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, verify that the device firmware exposes diagnostics from the cable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the active components are powered by the QSFP28 host modules and require no external power. For replacement or addition of links, power down ports if recommended by your hardware vendor, then hot-plug if supported.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radius and strain-relief guidelines from your hardware vendor, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify interoperability with the specific host platform. Use the built-in DDM/DOM information for proactive monitoring of optical power and temperature where supported.
