Cabo AOC BlueOptics MFA1A00-C002-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 2 m turquesa

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C002-TG-BO is a 2 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for 100G InfiniBand and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. Engineered to MSA standards, the turquoise-colored cable supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels and is intended for use in high-density network environments such as data centres and high-performance computing clusters. The AOC design provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while delivering high bandwidth over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC offers a factory-tested, MSA-compliant interface that ensures interoperability with common hardware platforms that support QSFP28 100G connections. The cable integrates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472, enabling real-time reporting of voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power levels. Constructed from high-quality optical and electronic components, it delivers stable throughput, low latency and a predicted long service life for reduced maintenance and higher availability.

How to use

Ensure both host devices support QSFP28 100G AOC modules and the DDM/DOM features if diagnostics are required. With devices powered down or in a safe maintenance state, insert each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 port until the latch engages. After powering up, verify link establishment and check diagnostic readouts via the host management interface if necessary. Use appropriate cable routing to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for fiber optics.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable for short to medium-length 100G connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force, and exposure to sources of mechanical stress. Confirm vendor compatibility and that the target hardware supports AOC QSFP28 links and DDM/DOM functions to access full monitoring capabilities.
