## Summary description

The BlueOptics CBL-501-BO is a 1 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable with QSFP28 connectors. It features male/male connectors and is designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics CBL-501-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP28 Aqua is a 1-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking equipment. Built to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form-factor standards, this BlueOptics cable supports 100G-class short-reach multimode optical links and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to transfer optical signals over multimode fibre.
Advantages
This BlueOptics AOC combines a pre-terminated QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection with an aqua-coloured multimode fibre jacket for easy identification and installation. As an active optical cable, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patchcords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying cabling. The cable includes built-in digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, optical transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by host hardware.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100G interconnects between switches and routers in data centres
Connections between high-performance servers, storage systems and network appliances
InfiniBand/100GBASE-SR4 multimode links within racks or across adjacent racks
Key specifications
Form factor: QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable
Cable length: 1 metre
Transmission: 100G-class multimode optical link (100GBASE-SR4 / InfiniBand use cases)
Connector gender: male to male
Fibre type: multimode (Aqua jacket indicating short-reach multimode)
Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware supports the feature
How to use
Install the BlueOptics CBL-501-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 sockets on your switches, routers or servers. Ensure the host devices support QSFP28 AOCs and any DDM/DOM monitoring you intend to use. Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by QSFP28 cable guidelines to preserve optical performance. No separate transceivers or patchcord terminations are required.
Usage recommendations
Verify hardware compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and, where available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the host device for real-time diagnostics. Use the 1 m length for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and store or route the cable to avoid tight bends or mechanical strain that could affect performance.
