Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 15 m QSFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP28 Aqua is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors designed for high-speed 100GBASE-SR4 links over multimode fibre. The cable uses integrated transmitters and receivers on each end to carry optical signals and is color-coded aqua for straightforward identification and cable management in data centre and networking environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC follows QSFP28 MSA guidelines and is built for compatibility with major hardware that supports QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 connections. The pre-assembled fibre connection eliminates the need for separate patch cords and reduces risks from connector contamination or insertion loss. Integrated digital diagnostics enable real-time monitoring of parameters such as optical power and temperature when supported by host hardware. The 15 m length provides a balance between reach and low-latency performance for rack-to-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects supporting 100G Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• High-density rack cabling where colour-coded identification is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for multimode fibre
• Nominal length: 15 metres
• Standard: 100GBASE-SR4 optical transmission support
• Color: Aqua (for identification and cable management)
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on compatible switches, routers or servers. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance from the device vendor if required. Verify that the host equipment supports 100GBASE-SR4 and any digital diagnostics functions you intend to use. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or excess strain and secure it with appropriate cable management hardware to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the AOC in a clean environment, avoid contaminating the connector endfaces, and do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Confirm compatibility with your hardware and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the host system if available to assist with remote diagnostics and maintenance.
