BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-NA-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 15 m conector QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-NA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. It uses QSFP28 form-factor connectors on both ends to support InfiniBand links with low latency and high throughput. The cable is intended for short to medium reach connections inside racks and between adjacent racks where reliable 100Gb-class connectivity and compact cabling are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high data rates with low power consumption and reduced heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions. The QSFP28 connector interface ensures mechanical compatibility with QSFP28 ports and supports multi-lane InfiniBand signaling. The fiber construction provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in dense data centre environments. Its 15 m length balances reach and manageability for common top-of-rack and middle-of-row deployments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand interconnects
• Data centre server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections
• Storage area network links and high-throughput storage systems
• Cable paths inside racks and between adjacent racks where optical reach is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported link: InfiniBand multi-lane high-speed links
• Typical application: Short- to medium-reach data centre interconnects
• Electrical isolation: Optical fibre provides immunity to EMI

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding port on your server, switch or storage device until the latch engages, ensuring correct orientation. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed and lanes in the host or switch configuration. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and stress points; maintain a minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw the cable straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use this 15 m InfiniBand QSFP28 AOC for internal data centre connections where reliable 100Gb-class optical links are needed. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and verify compatibility with device port modules and firmware versions before deployment.
