InfiniBand-kabel BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-15M-BO QSFP28 QSFP28 15m turquoise

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-QSFP28-15M-BO is a 15 meter active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency data center links, this turquoise AOC uses multi-mode fiber and integrated transmitter/receiver modules to deliver up to 100G data rates over 15 m. The pre-terminated cable form factor removes the need for patching and reduces insertion loss associated with separate connectors, while the turquoise jacket aids visual identification in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This AOC provides a direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection that supports high-speed Ethernet and related protocols with low electromagnetic interference and predictable optical performance. The integrated transceivers and adherence to MSA QSFP28 mechanical and electrical standards help ensure interoperability with compatible hardware. A compact, pre-assembled design simplifies installation by eliminating fiber patching and cleaning steps, and the robust construction targets long operational life in demanding rack and data center environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 plug to the corresponding QSFP28 port on the networking devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor instructions. The cable contains active transceivers on both ends, so no separate modules are required. Verify that the host equipment supports QSFP28 AOC connections and the required short-reach transmission protocol. If the equipment supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query that functionality through the host system for real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive stress on the connectors; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Use the turquoise colour to trace and label connections in dense racks. Confirm compatibility with device firmware or vendor compatibility lists before deployment and, where available, test a sample link to validate performance in your specific environment.
