Cavo AOC BlueOptics MFA1A00-C030-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 30 m turchese

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C030-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 30 m Turquoise is a 30-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100GBASE-SR4 applications. The turquoise-sheathed cable delivers optical transmit and receive functions over fiber with low latency and high bandwidth, suitable for inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for online monitoring of link parameters when used with compatible host hardware.

Advantages

This AOC provides a standardized QSFP28 connection conforming to MSA guidelines and is compatible with common hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOC modules. The cable uses optical laser transmission technology to avoid electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over a 30 m distance. Integrated digital diagnostics enable real-time reporting of voltage, temperature, laser input/output power and laser current when the connected system supports DDM/DOM. Built with components from established vendors, it is designed for long service life and stable operation in demanding environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it seats securely. Ensure the connected devices are powered and configured for the intended 100G/InfiniBand link. If the host systems support DDM/DOM, enable or query diagnostics through the system management interface to monitor link health parameters such as optical power and temperature. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; follow rack cable management practices to maintain bend radius and secure the cable along its path.

Recommendations

Use this QSFP28 AOC for short to mid-range optical links where immunity to electromagnetic interference and low latency are required. Verify host compatibility for QSFP28 AOC modules and DDM functionality prior to deployment and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance.
