BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-PS-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15m QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-PS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 is a 15‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends. Designed for high-speed links, this AOC supports 100G data transmission over multimode fiber using a QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection and follows MSA-compliant QSFP28 AOC specifications. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers and provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fiber connection that reduces patching and attenuation compared with discrete patch-cord assemblies.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 15m QSFP28 AOC offers high throughput suitable for 100G applications while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference typical for fiber links. Being an active optical cable, it simplifies installation by providing a single pre-terminated assembly with integrated transceivers, reducing the need for field termination or cleaning of patch cords. The product is manufactured to MSA standards and incorporates quality components intended to provide long operating lifetime and consistent performance in data center and high-performance computing environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports in data center switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand environments
• 100G storage and SAN trunking between compatible devices
• Short-reach optical links inside racks and across adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-SR4 / 100G applications)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Compliance: QSFP28 AOC MSA-conformant
• Monitoring: supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware supports the feature

How to use

Install the BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-PS-BO by plugging the QSFP28 connectors into QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that connected hardware supports 100G QSFP28 AOC interfaces and any required DDM/DOM functions. No fiber polishing or field termination is required; handle connectors by the housing and avoid touching optical interfaces. Power on connected equipment and verify link status via device management interfaces or physical link indicators.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility of the host devices with QSFP28 AOC modules and confirm support for 100GBASE-SR4 or the target protocol before deployment. Route the 15m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the rack or cable-management guidelines. If DDM/DOM information is needed for monitoring, ensure the switch, router, or storage system exposes the diagnostic data.
