Blue Cable Co Transceivers

The GLC-EZX-SM-120-BCC is a Cisco compatible 1GB single-mode SFP transceiver rated for links up to 120km over 9/125µm SMF fibre. Fitted with a 1550nm DFB laser transmitter and APD receiver, it delivers a 32dB link budget suitable for metro and access network applications. The module is plug-and-play, hot-pluggable, and ships with DDM support for real-time monitoring of optical parameters. Every unit is tested in Blue Cable Co's state of the art lab in Sydney to ensure compatibility with Cisco platforms.

Blue Cable Co 100GbE QSFP28 active optical cables (AOC) deliver reliable 100Gb/s connectivity between QSFP28 ports over multi-mode fibre, compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms. VCSEL-based optics are integrated directly into the QSFP28 connectors at each end, enabling reaches well beyond passive copper DAC cables while remaining hot-pluggable and plug-and-play. Available in lengths from 3m to 30m, all variants feature an LSZH jacket for data centre fire safety compliance and support selectable per-lane retiming for signal integrity over longer runs.

• Plug-and-play active optical cable — no separate transceivers required
• 100GbE QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC, NVIDIA Mellanox compatible
• Available in 3m, 5m, 10m, 20m, and 30m lengths — select your variant above
• VCSEL-based optics integrated into QSFP28 connectors at both ends
• 100Gb/s aggregate via 4x25Gb/s NRZ lanes over multi-mode fibre
• Selectable per-lane retiming for both Tx and Rx — optimised for signal integrity at 25Gb/s
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for data centre fire safety compliance
• Hot-pluggable for live insertion without system downtime
• BER better than 1E-15
• Operating case temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• Power dissipation: 2.2W typical / 2.5W maximum per end (with retiming)
• RoHS compliant

Blue Cable Co 40GbE QSFP+ active optical cables (AOC) deliver reliable 40Gb/s connectivity between QSFP+ ports over multi-mode fibre, compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms. Unlike passive DAC cables, AOCs integrate VCSEL-based optical transceivers directly into the QSFP+ connectors at each end, enabling much longer reaches than copper while remaining hot-pluggable and plug-and-play. Available in lengths from 3m to 30m, these cables are plenum rated (OFNP) and suited to data centre deployments where reach, cable management, or fire rating requirements rule out passive copper.

• Plug-and-play active optical cable — no separate transceivers required
• 40GbE QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC, NVIDIA Mellanox compatible
• Available in 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, and 30m lengths — select your variant above
• VCSEL-based optics integrated into QSFP+ connectors at both ends
• 40Gb/s aggregate over four multi-mode fibre lanes at up to 10.3125Gb/s per lane
• IEEE 802.3ba 40GbE compliant
• Plenum rated (OFNP) — suitable for in-ceiling and raised-floor data centre environments
• Hot-pluggable for live insertion without system downtime
• BER better than 1E-15
• Operating case temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• Power consumption: 0.8W typical, 1W maximum
• RoHS compliant and Class 1 laser safe

The MAM1Q00A-QSA28-BCC is a Blue Cable Co QSFP28 to SFP28 adapter, compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms. It enables an SFP28, SFP+, or SFP transceiver to be installed directly into a QSFP28 port, providing a cost-effective solution for connecting 25GbE, 10GbE, or 1GbE SFP-form-factor equipment to switches and NICs with QSFP28 ports. The adapter uses lane 1 of the QSFP28 connector and is plug-and-play with all major SFP28 transceivers, AOC, and DAC cables. Backed by Blue Cable Co's 5-year advanced hardware replacement warranty.

• Plug-and-play QSFP28 to SFP28 adapter — accepts SFP28, SFP+, or SFP transceivers, AOC, and DAC cables
• Enables 25GbE SFP28, 10GbE SFP+, or 1GbE SFP connectivity on QSFP28 ports of Mellanox switches and NICs
• Uses lane 1 of the QSFP28 connector — single lane, not a 4x25G breakout
• SFF-8636 compliant I2C management interface — passes SFP transceiver identity to the host
• Built-in EEPROM for product identification
• Low insertion loss with matched impedance design
• Secure latching mechanism for reliable retention in the QSFP28 cage
• Compliant with QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 and SFP28 MSA SFF-8402
• Operating case temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W
