BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC15M-HU-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 15 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-AOC15M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m Male/Male is a pre-terminated active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between compatible QSFP28 ports. With a 15 metre length and QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable is intended for inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers, HPC clusters and other network environments requiring 100G-class links. The design focuses on reliable signal integrity and compatibility with devices that accept QSFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

The cable provides high-bandwidth 100G connectivity over a flexible 15 m reach while maintaining low insertion loss and stable signal performance. QSFP28 Male-to-Male terminations simplify installation by offering a standardized interface for switches, routers and host adapters that support QSFP28 AOC modules. As an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference and offers lower power dissipation compared with some copper alternatives for similar distances. The construction is suited for continuous operation in rack environments where durable connector housings and fiber assemblies are required.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and routers with QSFP28 ports in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 100G InfiniBand or Ethernet links
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects that use QSFP28 interfaces
• Longer patching runs within racks and between adjacent racks up to 15 metres

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 Male to QSFP28 Male
• Length: 15 metres
• Transmission mode: Active Optical Cable (AOC) suitable for 100G data rates
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet-compatible signaling
• Mechanical features: pre-terminated, factory-assembled fiber with ruggedized connector housings

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP28 AOC modules and the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 100G Ethernet). Power down or follow hot-plug guidelines of your hardware when inserting or removing QSFP28 modules if recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Align the QSFP28 connector keying with the port and insert the connector until it latches; use the release tab to disengage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. After installation, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and perform any required firmware or driver checks for full compatibility.

Recommendations

Use this 15 m QSFP28 AOC for connections where optical reach and reduced electromagnetic interference are preferred over copper DACs. Avoid tight cable bundles that exceed the cable's bend radius and follow your equipment vendor's guidelines for QSFP28 module insertion and removal. For critical deployments, validate interoperability in a staging environment before wide rollout.
