BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-CN-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 15 m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for data centre and high-performance computing applications. The cable integrates QSFP28 male connectors on both ends and supports the data throughput and form factor required by modern InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics. It is intended for short to medium reach interconnects where electrical cables are impractical or where optical transmission reduces signal degradation.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable provides consistent high-speed data transfer with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its 15 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch connections without the need for transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The male-to-male QSFP28 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play integration with compatible ports and equipment. The optical design supports thermal stability and signal integrity across the specified reach.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-host connections requiring QSFP28 interfaces
• Environments demanding low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector style: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported interface: InfiniBand / QSFP28-compatible fabrics
• Transmission medium: Multi-channel optical fibre
• Use case: Short to medium reach data centre interconnects

How to use

Ensure both network ports are QSFP28-compatible and powered down or in a state permitting hot-plugging according to your equipment guidelines. Align the QSFP28 male connector with the port and insert until the latch engages; repeat for the opposite end. Verify link state and negotiated data rates through the host or switch management interface. If required, consult the equipment manual for port configuration and firmware compatibility notes. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Install and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use in environments with appropriate airflow and temperature control typical for data centre equipment. For interoperability, confirm QSFP28 port firmware and driver support on the connected devices before deployment.
