BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 15 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is a pre-terminated active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects. The 15 metre length with QSFP28 male connectors supports 100 Gigabit links and is intended for use in dense networking environments where reliable high-speed data transfer is required. The cable’s active optical construction provides electrical isolation and reduced power dissipation compared with equivalent copper assemblies, making it suitable for modern data centre and high-performance computing topologies.

Advantages

The cable delivers 100G throughput over a single QSFP28-to-QSFP28 link and ensures consistent signal integrity over its 15 m active optical design. Its pre-terminated male/male QSFP28 connectors simplify installation and reduce connector loss. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with direct-attach copper alternatives, while offering compatibility with InfiniBand architectures and other 100G QSFP28 ports where supported.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack connectivity in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and server farms
• Storage area networks and high-throughput backbones
• Switch-to-switch or host-to-switch 100G InfiniBand links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbps per link
• Length: 15 metres
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand and 100G QSFP28-compatible interfaces
• Benefits: Low latency, reduced electromagnetic interference, electrical isolation

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and inserting until the latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your switch or host vendor if connecting under load. Verify link status through your network equipment management interface and monitor for error counters or alarms during initial operation. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use cable management to prevent stress on connectors and avoid exposure to mechanical abrasion or liquids. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment firmware and vendor-supported transceiver/cable lists to ensure full 100G functionality.
