BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-AO-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 15m QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-AO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments. It features QSFP28 male-to-male connectors and supports reliable, low-latency data transmission over longer rack-to-rack or intra-rack distances where copper cabling would be limited. The cable is intended for use with InfiniBand networks and QSFP28 ports, delivering the signal integrity and bandwidth required for modern storage, compute and networking equipment.

Advantages

This 15m QSFP28 active optical cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for InfiniBand environments. The QSFP28 connector format ensures compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports used in switches, adapters and servers. Active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with long copper links and maintains signal quality over the full 15-metre length. Male-to-male connectors allow straightforward installation in typical data centre layouts.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and inter-node connections
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Storage area networks and high-bandwidth storage access
• Latency-sensitive applications such as real-time analytics

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male-to-male
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported interface: InfiniBand-compatible QSFP28
• Typical characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth, reduced EMI

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures for your equipment according to manufacturer guidance before connecting the cable if required. Align the QSFP28 connector with the port, insert until the latch engages, and confirm a secure mechanical fit. Use standard port diagnostics and link LEDs to verify connectivity and correct link speed. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; route the cable in cable trays or management panels to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors for dust or debris before installation and, if necessary, use appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Maintain appropriate bend radius and secure routing to preserve performance. For mixed-vendor environments, verify compatibility with QSFP28 InfiniBand ports and check firmware or driver requirements on existing hardware.
