Cabo de rede BlueOptics MFA1A00-E015-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 15 m laranja

The BlueOptics MFA1A00-E015-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 15m Orange is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnects. The male-to-male QSFP28 connection conforms to MSA-compatible QSFP28 form factor requirements and supports multimode optical transmission for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The orange jacket provides quick visual identification in densely cabled installations.

Advantages

This 15 m active optical cable combines low weight and flexible routing with integrated optical transceivers at each end, enabling reliable 100G-class data transfer over multimode fiber without separate SFP/QSFP modules. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 direct connection reduces component count in rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch links, while the standardized connector format ensures compatibility with equipment that supports QSFP28 AOC connections. The orange color simplifies cable management and fault tracing in complex setups.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links between switches and routers in data centers
• InfiniBand interconnects in high-performance computing clusters
• Server-to-switch connections requiring QSFP28 ports
• Storage systems and SAN uplinks that accept QSFP28 AOC connections

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre with active transceivers
• Designed for: 100G-class short-reach applications (100GBASE-SR4 / InfiniBand)
• Weight: 0.15 kg
• Product colour: Orange

How to use

Install the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking equipment, ensuring connectors are seated firmly and latches engage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode optical cable. The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate pluggable modules, so once connected the link should be detected by devices that support QSFP28 AOC interfaces and the appropriate 100G or InfiniBand protocol.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and keep dust caps on when not in use. Use this cable in environments where 15 m multimode active optical links meet your bandwidth and reach requirements, and verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC connections. Avoid tight bundling or routing near sources of electromagnetic interference to preserve optical performance.
