BlueOptics AV1P-BO InfiniBand-kuitu-kaapeli 15 m QSFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics AV1P-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m active optical cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors, designed for high-speed links in data centres and professional networking environments. The Aqua-coloured cable is intended for multimode short-reach deployments and supports 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols. As an active optical cable (AOC), it integrates transceivers at both ends to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, providing a pre-terminated, low-latency connection for switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP28 interfaces.

Advantages

The integrated transmitter and receiver modules within this 15 m AOC enable reliable 100G-capable transmission without manual fibre termination, reducing insertion loss and installation work. Aqua multimode construction and QSFP28 interfaces align with common 100GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand short-reach standards, providing consistent optical performance and low latency for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links. The pre-assembled cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching between endpoints, simplifying rack cabling and minimizing potential points of failure.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AV1P-BO by inserting each QSFP28 plug into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured to support 100G or InfiniBand operation and verify that the host hardware accepts QSFP28 AOCs. No additional fibre termination or separate transceiver modules are required. For systems that expose digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) through their management interfaces, enable and check available diagnostic parameters if supported by the hardware.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage vendor for QSFP28 AOC acceptance before deployment and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and low-latency behaviour.
