BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-VA-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand QSFP28 15m macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-VA-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP28 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. It provides a single, continuous fibre link in a compact cable format and is intended for short-to-medium reach interconnections in data centre racks and networking equipment. The male-to-male QSFP28 connectors enable direct connection between compatible switches, servers and host adapters that support QSFP28 interfaces.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable supports high-bandwidth, low-latency links suitable for modern InfiniBand and Ethernet infrastructures. The 15 m length allows flexible placement of equipment while preserving signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The integrated QSFP28 connectors simplify installation and reduce the need for additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Direct links between QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and servers
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput optical connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Protocols supported: InfiniBand and compatible high-speed Ethernet implementations
• Form factor: QSFP28 for 100Gbps-class links (depends on equipment compatibility)

How to use

Ensure both host ports support QSFP28 and are powered off or in a safe state if recommended by your equipment vendor. Insert each QSFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding port until the latch engages. Verify link status through your switch or server management interface and monitor for proper signal and speed negotiation. Avoid sharp bends and excess tension on the cable during routing to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, follow manufacturer guidelines for cable bend radius and port handling. Use this active optical cable in temperature-controlled rack environments and verify compatibility with QSFP28 ports and firmware versions on your networking equipment before deployment.
