InfiniBand/kuituoptinen kaapeli BlueOptics MFA1A00-C015-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 15 m turkoosi

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-C015-TG-BO QSFP28 AOC 15 m Turquoise is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 100 Gbps links in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable implements 100GBASE-SR4 signalling over optical fibres to provide simultaneous transmit and receive channels, and its turquoise jacket aids identification in dense cabling environments. The AOC form factor provides a plug-and-play alternative to transceiver-plus-patch-fibre solutions and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC supports data rates up to 100 Gbps and follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 mechanical and electrical interfaces, enabling interoperability with common hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOC modules. The 15 m length is suitable for inter-rack and intra-rack connections while maintaining low latency and high throughput. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature when supported by host devices. The turquoise colour and durable jacket make routing and identification easier in complex installations.

How to use

Install the QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on host devices until the connector latches. Ensure the host ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor if applicable. Verify link status via the host device interface and, if available, read DDM/DOM diagnostics to confirm correct optical levels and operating temperature. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to rack infrastructure to prevent movement that could stress connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 15 m QSFP28 AOC for short to medium distance 100 Gbps links inside and between adjacent racks; avoid exceeding the specified bend radius and verify DDM/DOM readings during commissioning to ensure optimal performance. Confirm compatibility with the specific QSFP28 ports and firmware of your switches, routers or storage devices before deployment.
