BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A15M-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP28 is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data center and networking environments. It implements 100GBASE-SR4 signalling over multimode fibre and integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the connector housings to maintain signal integrity over the full 15 m length. The cable is intended for direct connection between compatible QSFP28 ports in switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP-100G AOC modules.

Advantages

The cable provides a pre-terminated, plug-and-play 100 G connection that removes the need for separate transceivers and fibre patching, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. Using multimode active optical technology helps maintain low signal loss and consistent performance over 15 meters, while QSFP28 form-factor compatibility ensures broad interoperability with equipment that accepts QSFP28 AOC modules. The integrated design supports common high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 100 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• High-density data center rack-to-rack connections
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-router uplinks supporting QSFP28 AOC
• Storage system interconnects requiring 100 G links

How to use

Verify that your network equipment supports QSFP28 AOC modules and the 100GBASE-SR4 signalling before installation. Power down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment as recommended by the device manufacturer, then insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it seats securely. Ensure connectors and ports are free of dust and debris prior to insertion to avoid signal degradation. After connection, confirm link status and configuration on your devices and, if required, adjust interface settings such as speed and protocol parameters through the host equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable following general fibre-optic best practices: avoid tight bends, excessive pulling, and exposure to contaminants. Use the 15 m BlueOptics QSFP-100G-A15M-BO in environments and with hardware that explicitly support QSFP28 AOC modules and 100GBASE-SR4 to ensure compatibility and reliable 100 G performance.
