BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-15M-HU-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-15M-HU-BO is a 15 m active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet interconnects in data centers and networking racks. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 modules and uses multimode fiber to enable up to 100 Gbit/s link rates over a 15 metre reach. It is compatible with hardware that supports QSFP28 AOC modules following common MSA specifications, providing a direct-attach solution for short-reach, high-bandwidth links between switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers stable 100G data transmission over 15 metres while minimizing signal loss through integrated optical transceivers. The QSFP28 male-to-male connector form factor ensures simple plug-and-play installation in QSFP28 ports without additional transceivers. Multimode fiber construction and active optics reduce electromagnetic interference and support dense cabling in confined rack environments. The product is intended to match the form factor and electrical/optical characteristics expected by platforms that accept QSFP28 AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach, high-bandwidth links between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Interconnects between routers, switches and storage arrays within a single equipment room
• High-performance computing or InfiniBand clusters requiring 100G links over 15 m
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and compact cabling are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Optical medium: multimode fiber with integrated active transceivers
• Protocol support: 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand-compatible high-speed applications

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper seating and port compatibility. The cable includes built-in optical transceivers so no separate SFP/QSFP transceivers are required. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed on both endpoints according to the equipment interface indicators or management software. For best results, avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fiber during installation.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-15M-HU-BO for short-range 100G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm that the host hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and 100G optical links before deployment. Handle connectors by the housing, keep connector caps on when not in use, and follow standard ESD precautions during installation.
