BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-AT-BO cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 15m QSFP28 macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-AT-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends designed for high-speed short-reach connections. Built to comply with QSFP28 MSA electrical and mechanical interfaces, this cable supports 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand-class high-throughput links over multimode fiber using integrated transmitters and receivers in each connector. The pre-assembled AOC eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying rack-to-rack or device-to-device interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The cable provides a plug-and-play QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection that supports up to 100 Gbit/s over 15 metres while being immune to electromagnetic interference due to its optical transmission path. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable online monitoring of key parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, output and received power, and temperature where supported by host hardware. Compliance with MSA QSFP28 mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links between switches, routers and servers
• Data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row interconnects
• High-performance computing and storage networking
• Low-latency connections in clustered environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Optical medium: multimode fiber
• Support for digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) where host supports the feature

How to use

Install the BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-AT-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the connector latch engages. Ensure the host device supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if you require digital diagnostics, that the device firmware exposes DDM/DOM values. No additional patching or transceiver installation is needed. For removal, unlock the connector latch and withdraw the module straight out to avoid stressing the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance. Verify host compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in managed hardware if available. Store and route the cable in a way that prevents sharp edges or crushing to preserve long-term reliability.
