## Summary description

The BlueOptics 470-ABOC-BO is a 30 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable featuring QSFP28 connectors.

The Aqua color adds a modern touch, while its robust design ensures durability and reliability in demanding applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics 470-ABOC-BO QSFP28 AOC 30 m Aqua is a 30 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors designed for 100GBASE-SR4 environments. The cable provides bidirectional optical transmit and receive functions over fibre, delivering low latency and high throughput for data centre switches, routers and storage systems. Constructed to MSA-compliant QSFP28 specifications and using high-quality optical and electronic components, this Aqua-coloured AOC is intended for short-reach interconnects within and between adjacent racks where 100 Gbps links are required.
Advantages
This BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC offers high data transfer rates with low electromagnetic susceptibility because optical transmission is immune to EMI. The active optical design enables extended reach compared with copper DACs while maintaining low latency. The cable is manufactured to MSA standards and tested for compatibility with common server and networking platforms, providing predictable operation and long service life through selected lasers and ICs from established suppliers. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) allow remote monitoring of key optical and electrical parameters when supported by host hardware.
Suitable for
100 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers within data centres
Connections between servers, storage arrays and network appliances in rack and adjacent-rack layouts
High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency optical interconnects
Environments where immunity to electromagnetic interference is necessary
Key specifications
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
Nominal data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-SR4 application)
Length: 30 m
Colour: Aqua
Form factor: QSFP28 MSA-compliant
Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (requires host support)
How to use
Insert the QSFP28 plugs into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your networking equipment, ensuring the connectors are aligned and latched according to the host device instructions. Use the cable for short-reach 100GBASE-SR4 links between switches, routers, servers or storage devices. Verify that the connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOCs and, if required, that DDM/DOM functions are enabled on the host to read diagnostic information. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure within cable management panels when installed in racks.
Usage recommendations
Handle the AOC by the connector housings, avoid kinking the fibre assembly and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Confirm compatibility with the target platform and enable DDM/DOM monitoring on supported hosts for remote diagnostics. For optimal signal integrity, keep the cable length suitable for short-reach applications and follow rack cable-management best practices.
