Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics X34KW-BO 15 m QSFP28 azul-água

The BlueOptics X34KW-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP28 Aqua is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors designed for 100G multimode links. It provides a pre-terminated fibre solution for high-speed data transmission in data centres and enterprise networks where QSFP28 interfaces and 100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent multimode optical links are used. The cable has a male-to-male QSFP28 configuration and an aqua jacket colour that indicates multimode 100G applications.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured to industry MSA QSFP28 AOC standards to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible hardware. As an active optical cable, it integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in the QSFP28 housings to support simultaneous send/receive optical signalling over multimode fibre, reducing the need for separate transceivers and patching. Digital diagnostics/DOM functionality is supported where the host hardware implements the interface, enabling monitoring of parameters such as optical power and temperature. The pre-assembled design minimises manual fibre handling, cleaning and attenuation risks compared with patchcord assemblies.

Suitable for

• 100G multimode links between switches and routers with QSFP28 ports
• High-density top-of-rack and spine connections in data centres
• Fibre connections for storage systems and server interconnects that support QSFP28 AOC

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male/male)
• Cable length: 15 metres
• Optical medium: multimode fibre (aqua jacket indicating multimode 100G use)
• Designed data rate: up to 100 Gbps over multimode optical links
• Active optical cable with integrated transmitters and receivers in connector housings
• Digital diagnostics / DOM support when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X34KW-BO by inserting each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking equipment following the vendor's hot-plug and handling instructions. Ensure the host devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and any digital diagnostic functions you intend to use. Route the pre-terminated 15 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius for multimode fibre to prevent signal degradation. No additional transceivers or patching is required when using the cable as an AOC replacement.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific switch, router or storage platform before deployment and confirm that the device firmware supports third-party AOC modules and DOM access. During installation, avoid excessive bending and secure the cable to prevent strain; use proper ESD precautions when handling active connector ends. For monitoring, enable DOM in the host system to obtain supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature readings if supported.
