Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics AOC-Q28-100G-15M-BO 15m QSFP28 conector macho

The BlueOptics AOC-Q28-100G-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports 100G-class links over multimode fibre and incorporates transceivers at both ends to transmit and receive optical signals according to the 100GBASE-SR4 / InfiniBand transmission approach. It is designed to provide a direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection for switches, routers and storage platforms that accept QSFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces electrical-to-optical conversion constraints and enables 100G data throughput across a 15 m link while keeping connector compatibility with QSFP28 ports. Being a branded BlueOptics product, the cable follows the QSFP28 form factor and supports multimode fibre transmission, offering predictable signal handling for short-reach 100G applications. Its 15 m length gives flexibility for rack-to-rack interconnects without additional transceivers or patching equipment.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack high-speed connections in data centers
• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 100G InfiniBand links
• Storage systems and SANs that support 100G optical AOC connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Transmission medium: multimode fibre
• Compatible form factor: QSFP28 (100GBASE-SR4 / InfiniBand applications)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices. Ensure connectors are clean and ports are powered down according to the device vendor’s hot-plug guidance if required. After physical connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in your switch or host interface management to confirm the 100G link has been established. Use vendor documentation to confirm compatibility with specific equipment models.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Keep connector endfaces covered until installation and perform endface cleaning if required. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and, if necessary, test a sample link in your environment before wide deployment.
