Cavo AOC BlueOptics PAN-QSFPDD-400GBASE-AOC-3M-BO QSFP-DD 400G 3m turchese

The AOC Cable BlueOptics PAN-QSFPDD-400GBASE-AOC-3M-BO QSFP-DD 400G 3m Turquoise is a 3 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-DD connectors on both ends, designed for 400G data transmission in data centers and high-speed network environments. Built to MSA standards, this turquoise BlueOptics cable supports 400GBASE-SR8 topologies and combines low latency, high bandwidth and optical signal transmission over fiber for short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The cable offers a factory-tested QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD connection with integrated transmit and receive channels implemented via fiber optics, ensuring signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. It includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 to report real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser current, transmit/receive optical power and temperature. Components are selected from reputable manufacturers and the product is produced to MSA-compatible specifications to provide a long service life and high availability in critical network links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-DD AOC by plugging the QSFP-DD connectors into compatible QSFP-DD ports on your network devices, observing proper port alignment and retention latch operation. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP-DD 400G connectivity and, if requiring diagnostic access, verify that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM reading. The cable is intended for short-reach optical links inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid tight bends and secure cable routing to prevent strain on the optical assemblies.

Recommendations

To maintain performance and longevity, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keep connectors free from dust before insertion, and confirm host compatibility with 400GBASE-SR8 and DDM/DOM features. Use appropriate ESD precautions when handling and follow rack airflow and cable management practices recommended by your equipment vendors.
