InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics 100FRRL0150-BO QSFP28 AOC 15 m blauw

The BlueOptics 100FRRL0150-BO QSFP28 AOC is a 15 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks. Featuring QSFP28 connectors at both ends, this BlueOptics cable supports low-latency links and high bandwidths required by modern server interconnects, switch uplinks, and high-performance computing environments. The cable's blue jacket and stainless steel components deliver a durable, professional appearance while AOC technology provides electrical isolation and simplified installation compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers reliable, low-latency performance suitable for demanding network environments. Its QSFP28 connectors ensure compatibility with equipment that supports InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet interfaces. The 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and cross-rack connections without intermediate transceivers. The AOC design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat dissipation typical of copper assemblies, while the robust construction and blue exterior improve handling and cable management.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Server interconnects and storage networking
• Cross-rack and rack-to-rack cabling within equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connectors: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Length: 15 m
• Weight: 0.15 kg
• Colour: Blue jacket with stainless steel components
• Interface support: InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet-compatible QSFP28 form factor

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate transceiver port on your switches, servers, or adapters until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated fully and that the cable routing avoids sharp bends or excessive tension to preserve optical performance. The AOC is a plug-and-play solution that does not require separate transceivers or additional fiber patching; verify device compatibility with QSFP28 ports and supported link speeds before deployment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short- to mid-range high-speed interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain bend radii recommended by the manufacturer, avoid kinks, and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors. Confirm that connected equipment supports QSFP28 interfaces and the intended InfiniBand or Ethernet protocols to ensure optimal performance.
