BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-QN-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 15 m QSFP28 uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-QN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, low-latency interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing environments. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends in a male-to-male configuration and is intended for short-to-medium reach links where reliable, high-bandwidth data transfer is required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides high data throughput suitable for 100GbE and InfiniBand HDR/FDR-class connectivity while maintaining low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The active optical design supports longer distances than passive copper direct-attach cables of similar form factor and simplifies cabling by integrating transceivers into the cable ends. Its standardized QSFP28 interface ensures broad compatibility with devices that accept QSFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and storage arrays
• Server-to-server links requiring 100Gbps or InfiniBand-class bandwidth
• Rack-to-rack connections within the same equipment room

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 100 Gigabit Ethernet-class links
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre integrated in AOC
• Typical use: short-to-medium reach high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the network interface cards, switches or devices, ensuring the connector latch engages. Verify that both devices are powered and configured for the intended link speed and protocol. Monitor link status indicators on connected equipment to confirm successful negotiation. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use appropriate airflow and cable management practices in racks to preserve signal integrity. For critical deployments, verify compatibility with your device firmware and perform link tests after installation.
