AOC-kaapeli BlueOptics MFA1A00-C050-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 50 m turkoosi

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C050-TG-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 50m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends and a 50 meter length. Designed for high-bandwidth InfiniBand and 100GBASE-SR4 applications, this turquoise AOC provides optical transmission between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and compute nodes with minimal latency. The cable implements receive and transmit optical functions and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor conventions to ensure interoperable physical connectivity in high-performance networking environments.

Advantages

This AOC delivers optical data transmission that is immune to electromagnetic interference and supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels via fiber, enabling high throughput and low latency links over 50 m. Built to industry MSA guidance, the cable uses proven optical components and is tested for interoperability with common hardware platforms that support QSFP28 InfiniBand and 100GBASE-SR4 connections. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time status information such as temperature, supply voltage and optical power when supported by host hardware, simplifying monitoring and troubleshooting.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on network devices, ensuring proper orientation and a secure mechanical fit. Route the 50 m cable through rack openings or cable trays to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. If the connected devices support digital diagnostics, enable or query DDM/DOM via the host management interface to monitor optical power, temperature and supply parameters. No additional transceivers are required; the AOC provides an integrated optical link.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and physical strain on the cable, maintain proper airflow around network equipment, and verify host compatibility with QSFP28 and the targeted protocol (InfiniBand or 100GBASE-SR4). Use the DDM/DOM information for preventive maintenance when supported by your devices.
