Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics MFA1A00-E030-BO 30 m QSFP28 naranja

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-E030-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m QSFP28 Orange is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends designed for high-speed connections in data centres and high-performance computing environments. At 30 metres length, it supports multi-mode fibre transmission and is compatible with platforms that accept QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 AOC interfaces. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in each connector to ensure direct optical signal transfer and protocol-aware communication for Ethernet and related high-throughput applications.

Advantages

This 30 m QSFP28 AOC provides a single-cable solution for 100 Gbps links over multi-mode fibre without separate SFP/QSFP transceivers, simplifying rack-to-rack and aisle connectivity. The integrated transceiver design reduces installation complexity and latency compared with separate transceivers and patch cords. The orange jacket and QSFP28 form factor follow common data-centre colour and connector conventions to assist identification and consistent deployment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage 100 Gbps links
• Environments requiring multi-mode fibre QSFP28 AOC cabling

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or storage devices, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Confirm that the connected hardware supports QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 AOC interfaces and that port settings (speed and protocol) match the intended use. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintain recommended bend radius for multi-mode AOC assemblies, and secure within cable management paths to prevent accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

Verify platform compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules before deployment and test the link after installation. For predictable performance, avoid excessive bending, sharp kinks, and exposure to mechanical stress or extreme temperatures. Use the orange jacket as a visual cue for multi-mode high-speed links when organising data-centre cabling.
