Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC15M-BO 15 m

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m is an active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G data transmission over multimode fibre. At 15 metres length it enables short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable incorporates transmitters and receivers in the plug housings to support 100GBASE-SR4 signaling and is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOC connections.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 100 Gbit/s throughput over a 15 m multimode link while maintaining signal integrity through integrated optical transceivers. Compatibility with QSFP28 form-factor ports provides a direct, hot-pluggable connection between switches, routers and servers that support QSFP28 AOC modules. The fibre construction reduces electromagnetic interference and cabling bulk compared with equivalent copper assemblies, enabling improved airflow and simplified cable management in rack and aisle deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G connections between switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand 100G links
• Interconnects for storage systems and aggregation switches supporting QSFP28
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and lighter cabling are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Transmission standard: 100GBASE-SR4 (supports 100 Gbit/s multi-lane operation)
• Length: 15 metres
• Media: multimode optical fibre with integrated active transceivers
• Form factor: QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on network switches, routers, or host adapters while the devices are powered according to the equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Ensure ports are configured for the intended protocol (Ethernet, InfiniBand or other supported 100G layer) and verify link status through the host device. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; no external power or additional transceivers are required as the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 15 m QSFP28 AOC in short-reach 100G interconnect scenarios where QSFP28 ports are supported. Confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor and check firmware or platform support lists when required. Avoid tight bend radii, keep connectors clean, and store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
