AOC-kaapeli BlueOptics 470-ACMJ-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 3 m aqua

The BlueOptics 470-ACMJ-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 3 m Aqua is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100GBASE-SR4 applications. It provides high-speed optical data transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, suitable for short-reach links inside and between adjacent racks in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The aqua-coloured sleeving identifies the cable at a glance while maintaining standard QSFP28 form-factor compatibility with devices that accept QSFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over optical fibers using QSFP28 interfaces, enabling reliable 100 Gbit/s links. It is produced to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and is tested for interoperability with common hardware platforms that support QSFP28 100G AOCs. Built with components from established manufacturers, the cable offers long operational lifetime and high availability for continuous use in demanding network environments. Integrated Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) provides real-time status of key parameters when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100 Gbit/s interconnects in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, routers, and storage systems in adjacent or same-rack setups
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand environments requiring low latency
• Environments where immunity to electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Standard: 100GBASE-SR4-compatible optical transmission
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Aqua
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring: supported (requires host support)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network device, ensuring the latch engages. Avoid twisting or sharply bending the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. When powered on, compatible devices will negotiate the optical link automatically. If DDM/DOM data is required, enable or query diagnostic functions through the host device’s management interface if the platform supports it.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach connections inside racks or across adjacent racks. Verify host compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and DDM support before deployment, and route the cable to avoid tight bends, compression, or EMI-prone cable bundles to preserve performance and lifetime.
