Netwerkkabel BlueOptics G7QL6ZC-BO QSFP28 AOC 3 m aqua

The BlueOptics G7QL6ZC-BO QSFP28 AOC 3 m Aqua is a 3-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 100G data links in data center and high-performance networking environments. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP28 physical and electrical interfaces and implements 100GBASE-SR4 optical signalling for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections. Its Aqua-coloured jacket identifies the cable type and simplifies cable management in dense installations.

Advantages

This 3 m AOC provides high aggregate bandwidth with low latency, suitable for InfiniBand and Ethernet 100GBASE-SR4 applications. Built with tested components and compliance to MSA standards, the cable supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for live readouts of optical power, temperature, and supply parameters when supported by host hardware. The optical transmission is immune to electromagnetic interference, enabling reliable operation in electrically noisy environments while maintaining signal integrity across short rack or adjacent-rack links.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking devices, observing port alignment and latch mechanisms. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required because the cable integrates the optical interface and transceivers. If DDM/DOM functionality is required, ensure the host device supports reading diagnostic parameters. Route and secure the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; the aqua jacket aids visual tracing in patching setups.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach 100G links inside racks and between adjacent racks where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are priorities. Avoid tight bends and prolonged exposure to mechanical stress; verify DDM/DOM compatibility with the host platform before relying on diagnostic readouts.
