Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-GM-BO 15m QSFP28 macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-GM-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is an active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networking environments. At 15 metres in length, this QSFP28-to-QSFP28 AOC supports multi-lane high-bandwidth links while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat compared with copper alternatives. The cable is intended for low-latency, high-throughput connections between switches, servers and storage systems that require reliable optical transmission over moderate distances.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high data rates with low power consumption and consistent signal integrity across all lanes. The QSFP28 male interfaces provide a compact, industry-standard form factor that simplifies installation in modern networking equipment. Being fibre-based, the cable minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving overall link stability in dense rack environments. The 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections without the need for additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance server-to-switch links in HPC and enterprise networks
• Connections to storage arrays and NVMe-over-Fabrics systems
• Short to medium distance optical links within server rooms and network cabinets

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Typical use: Multi-lane high-bandwidth interconnects with low latency

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support compatible transceiver interfaces and lane configurations. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. For optimal operation, route the cable to reduce stress on connectors and keep it away from sources of excessive heat or mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules and confirm link settings such as speed and lane mapping before deployment. Periodically inspect connectors for dust and contamination and clean them with appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools if necessary. When replacing or rerouting, power down equipment if required by your site procedures to prevent accidental damage to ports.
