Fiber optic cable BlueOptics 4Z57A14190-BO QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m orange

BlueOptics 4Z57A14190-BO is a 10 m fiber optic active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP56 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed InfiniBand and optical interconnects, the orange multimode jacket signals suitability for short to medium distance links in data centers, switches and servers. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP56 form-factor conventions and is intended for high-bandwidth point-to-point connections between QSFP56 ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC integrates optical transmitter and receiver components within the cable ends to enable native QSFP56 connectivity without separate transceivers. The 10 meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while keeping signal loss low over multimode fiber. The orange multimode jacket helps with quick visual identification in cable bundles and supports common short-reach high-bandwidth protocols used in modern server and switch environments.

Suitable for

• 200G short-reach interconnects between QSFP56 ports in data centers
• Direct high-bandwidth links between switches, routers and servers
• InfiniBand and other high-speed optical interconnect applications
• Rack-to-rack or within-rack multimode fiber connections up to 10 m

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP56 male to QSFP56 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Fiber type: multimode (orange jacket)
• Length: 10 m
• Supported link technologies: high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand (up to 200G use cases)

How to use

Insert each QSFP56 connector into the appropriate port on compatible switches, routers or servers until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP56 AOC connections and the intended 200G or other supported protocol. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable management accessories as needed. No separate optical transceivers are required because transmitter and receiver modules are integrated into the cable ends.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this multimode AOC for short- to medium-range links within a single equipment room or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends, exposure to excessive tensile stress and environments outside typical data center operating conditions. Verify compatibility with your hardware platform and firmware for QSFP56 AOC support before deployment.
