Fibre Optic

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.

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.

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.
