BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-RW-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15m QSFP28 stekker

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-RW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male is a 15-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Featuring QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-throughput links between InfiniBand and compatible QSFP28 ports while maintaining signal integrity over the 15 m distance. It is intended for use where low latency and reliable, long-reach connections are required in data centers and high-performance computing racks.

Advantages

This 15 m QSFP28 cable provides a compact, low-power optical link that reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The active optical design enables consistent high-speed performance with minimal signal attenuation across the full length. QSFP28 male connectors offer broad compatibility with QSFP28 ports and related transceiver interfaces, simplifying installation and replacement in existing racks and switches.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Backbone links requiring 15 m reach with QSFP28 connectivity
• Environments where EMI immunity and low latency are important

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Typical use: High-throughput, low-latency data transmission
• Physical: Lightweight, flexible fibre construction for rack routing

How to use

Connect one QSFP28 male end to the QSFP28 port of the source device and the other QSFP28 male end to the target device. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor before insertion or removal. Route the cable through rack management channels to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link status and negotiated speed on both devices after connection.

Recommendations

Avoid exceeding the specified bend radius, keep the connector interfaces clean and protected when not in use, and operate within the ambient temperature and handling guidelines of your networking equipment to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
