Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-MR-BO 15 m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-MR-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission in professional networking environments. It uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends to support 100Gbps-class links where QSFP28 ports are available. The design targets data centre topologies and high-performance computing clusters where consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable provides a stable high-bandwidth connection with lower power consumption compared to some copper alternatives. The optical medium ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports longer reach within racks or between adjacent equipment rows. Its pre-terminated QSFP28 Male-to-Male format simplifies installation and reduces the need for in-field termination or fibre patch panels for short to medium runs.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and servers with QSFP28 ports
• Data centre top-of-rack and middle-of-row connectivity
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Short- to medium-reach optical links where 100Gbps-class throughput is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 Male on both ends
• Supported link class: 100Gbps-class (QSFP28 performance)
• Signal medium: Multi-channel optical fibres within AOC assembly
• Typical use: Short- to medium-distance high-bandwidth links in racks and data halls

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port on your networking device and inserting until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered down or set to support hot-plugging per manufacturer guidance before insertion or removal. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified bend radius and secure the cable to prevent tugging. After connection, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and ensure any required firmware or driver support for QSFP28 AOC modules is present.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC for links inside data centres and HPC racks where a 15 m active optical run meets your topology needs. Avoid placing the cable near sources of excessive heat and follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plug operations and firmware compatibility to ensure optimal performance.
