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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-BC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed data centre and enterprise networking applications. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems while maintaining low latency and signal integrity over extended distances typical for rack-to-rack and row-to-row connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP28 active optical cable offers stable high-throughput performance and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. The 15 m length allows flexible placement of equipment within racks or across adjacent racks while preserving full InfiniBand bandwidth characteristics. With plug-and-play QSFP28 terminations, the cable minimizes installation time and supports consistent signal quality for demanding applications.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Storage area networks and SAN fabric interconnects
• Rack-to-rack connections where fibre optics are preferred over copper

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) suitable for InfiniBand
• Application: High-speed data transmission for data centres and enterprise networks
• Latency: Designed for minimal additional link latency typical of AOC solutions

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the QSFP28 port on your network device and inserting until it clicks into place. No additional configuration is required for basic connectivity; the cable operates as a direct optical link between compatible QSFP28 ports. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tensile strain, and ensure ports on both devices are powered and enabled for the intended InfiniBand link speeds.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidance. Verify compatibility with device QSFP28 ports and firmware when deploying in mixed-vendor environments, and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected bandwidth and latency performance.
