InfiniBand/sklenené vlákno kábel BlueOptics 980-9I13S-00E015-BO QSFP28 AOC 15 m modrý

The BlueOptics 980-9I13S-00E015-BO QSFP28 AOC is a 15 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable designed for high-speed data transfer in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends to support high-bandwidth, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage devices. The cable combines an active optical design with robust stainless steel elements and a blue outer finish for reliable physical protection and straightforward visual identification.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high data throughput with low latency suitable for demanding network topologies. The QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces enable compatibility with equipment that supports Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28G technology. The 15 m length offers extended reach while avoiding the signal degradation and electromagnetic interference typical of long copper runs. The cable's stainless steel components contribute to durability and handling resilience in rack-mounted and densely cabled installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches in data center top-of-rack and spine configurations
• Connections between servers and storage arrays requiring high throughput
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Short- to medium-reach links where active optical cabling is preferred over copper

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Cable length: 15 m
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Weight: 0.15 kg
• Product colour: Blue with stainless steel elements

How to use

Ensure both network devices support QSFP28 connections and are powered down or in a safe state as required by your site procedures before insertion. Align each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and insert until the connector latch engages. After both ends are seated, power on or enable the interfaces and verify link status via the device management interface or diagnostic LEDs. For removal, follow equipment recommendations for hot-swap or powered-down procedures, depress the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid bending the cable near the connector.

Recommendations

Route the AOC to avoid sharp bends and compression; maintain the manufacturer-specified minimum bend radius. Use proper cable management to reduce strain on connectors and to facilitate airflow in racks. Verify compatibility with your QSFP28 ports and firmware; perform link validation after installation and keep spare cables for rapid replacement in critical deployments.
