Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-IA-BO 15m ficha QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed data transmission between compatible network devices. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends, the cable supports InfiniBand interconnects commonly used in data centres and high-performance computing clusters. Its construction aims to provide low latency, consistent signal integrity and simplified cabling for short to medium inter-rack connections.

Advantages

This 15m InfiniBand fibre optic cable combines the compact form factor of QSFP28 connectors with active optical technology to deliver high bandwidth over a moderate distance while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper solutions. The integrated optics reduce signal attenuation and eliminate the need for separate transceivers, simplifying deployment and maintenance in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers, switches and storage nodes in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and distributed compute nodes
• Short- to medium-range inter-rack connections where low latency is required
• Environments that benefit from reduced heat and EMI compared to copper cabling

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28, male on both ends
• Interface compatibility: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Performance characteristics: Designed for high bandwidth and low latency transmission
• Physical attributes: Lightweight optical construction suitable for dense cabling runs

How to use

Ensure both networking devices support QSFP28 InfiniBand interfaces before connecting. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends along the optical fibre length. Align each QSFP28 connector with the device port and insert until the connector latches; confirm link status on connected equipment. For removal, release the latch mechanism and withdraw the connector straight out to prevent damage.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidance, secure the cable in cable management to avoid strain on connectors, and verify firmware and port settings on switches and host adapters to ensure compatibility with QSFP28 InfiniBand links.
