BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-CO-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 15 m QSFP28 samec/samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-CO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand links. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends and is intended for low-latency, high-throughput connections in data centers and high-performance computing setups. The cable supports the signal integrity and bandwidth requirements of modern InfiniBand networks while providing a compact, lightweight physical profile suitable for dense rack environments.

Advantages

This QSFP28-to-QSFP28 cable offers reliable data transmission over a 15 m reach with reduced electrical interference compared to copper alternatives. Its active optical design enables longer distances and consistent signal quality, while the male-to-male QSFP28 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation with compatible ports. The cable's form factor and flexibility simplify cable management in racks and chassis where space is constrained.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between servers and switches in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Low-latency storage area network (SAN) connections
• Patch and spine-leaf configurations in dense network layouts

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres (active optical cable)
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed optical link
• Application: Short- to mid-range high-bandwidth interconnects
• Physical properties: lightweight, flexible optical assembly for rack installations

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP28 ports on devices that support InfiniBand optical AOC modules. Avoid excessive bending near the connector heads and keep the cable clear of sharp edges or high-heat sources. After connection, verify link status on both devices and check for expected throughput and latency performance.

Recommendations

For optimal operation, use this AOC within the specified 15 m range and route it to minimize tight bends. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 optical AOCs and follow data center cable management practices to maintain airflow and reduce strain on connector latches.
