AOC-kabel BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-15M-BO 15m QSFP28 stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-15M-BO is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern network infrastructures. Designed for short- to mid-range interconnects within racks and between adjacent racks, this cable supports 100G aggregated bandwidth and reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The plug-and-play QSFP28 form factor simplifies deployment in compatible switches, routers and network interface cards.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers low latency, stable high-bandwidth performance and immunity to electrical interference. Its optical design reduces heat generation and eliminates the need for additional transceivers in many setups, enabling a neat and efficient cabling topology. The factory-terminated QSFP28 connectors provide consistent signal integrity and reduce installation time compared with field-terminated fiber solutions.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row high-speed interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server 100G links
• Low-latency trading platforms and bandwidth-intensive applications

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters (active optical cable)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: 100 Gbps aggregated
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-specified optical fiber (factory-terminated AOC)
• Form factor: QSFP28 compatible (plug-and-play)
• Typical applications: rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC-QSFP-100G-15M-BO by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on your network devices. Ensure that device firmware and port configurations support 100G operation and that link negotiation is set as required by your equipment. No separate transceivers are necessary; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or kinks along the optical section to preserve performance. Verify link status via your network management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short- to mid-range high-speed links within data centers. Maintain gentle bend radii, keep connectors clean and store the cable protected from mechanical stress when not in use. Confirm compatibility with device QSFP28 port firmware and supported link speeds before deployment to ensure stable 100G operation.
