## Long description

BlueOptics P08228-001-BO is a 3 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP56 connectors on both ends, designed for InfiniBand and fiber-optic high-speed links. The cyan 3 m cable supports QSFP56 interface connectivity for data center interconnects, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch links, offering low weight and plug-and-play deployment. The AOC transmits optical signals using laser-based fiber optics and complies with common MSA interface standards for QSFP56 connectivity.
Advantages
The cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency optical connection without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, suitable for short-reach high-throughput links. Its active optical design integrates transmit and receive functions to support simultaneous bidirectional data flow and typically includes digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time signal and module parameters. The lightweight, factory-terminated assembly simplifies installation and reduces cable management complexity in rack environments.
Suitable for
 Switch-to-switch links in data center topologies
 Server-to-switch connections requiring QSFP56 interfaces
 High-throughput InfiniBand or fiber-optic interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks
 Short-reach, low-latency applications in enterprise and service provider networks
Key specifications
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Connector type: QSFP56 to QSFP56
 Cable length: 3 m
 Typical aggregate data lane support: up to 200 Gbit/s (QSFP56 class)
 Colour: cyan
 Weight: approximately 0.23 kg
 Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when supported by host hardware
How to use
Install the BlueOptics AOC by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on your switches or servers until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and the host hardware supports QSFP56 modules and the intended data rates. If available, use the host management interface to verify link status and, where supported, read DDM/DOM parameters for diagnostics. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; no additional transceivers or fiber patching is required.
Usage recommendations
 For reliable operation, confirm compatibility of QSFP56 ports and firmware on connected devices, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and use the DDM/DOM readouts for troubleshooting link issues. Store and handle the AOC in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
