BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-15M-BO Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 15m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-D-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects, this AOC supports 100 Gbps links over multimode fibre and is suitable for connecting switches, servers and storage in data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the QSFP28 housings to provide a single-cable solution for 100G links at 15 metres.

Advantages

The cable provides a single-cable, plug-and-play approach to 100G connectivity with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. As an active optical cable, it delivers high data rates while keeping weight and electromagnetic interference low, and its 15 m length enables flexible placement of hardware within racks and across adjacent aisles. Compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports that support 100GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand protocols allows integration into common data center topologies.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-switch connections
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage links in HPC clusters
• Short-reach multimode fibre interconnects within data centers
• Environments requiring 100 Gbps InfiniBand or 100G Ethernet connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for multimode fibre
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 15 metres
• Application protocols: InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet (100GBASE-SR4) compatible
• Integrated optical transmitter and receiver in each QSFP28 module

How to use

Power off or follow hot-swap guidance for your hardware platform if required by the vendor. Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until it seats securely and the port latch engages. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP28 ports that support 100GBASE-SR4 or InfiniBand operation. After connection, verify link status and speed through your switch, server or host adapter management interface and check for any vendor-specific transceiver settings or firmware requirements.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tensile stress; maintain recommended bend radius for fibre assemblies. Use appropriate port documentation to confirm compatibility with your hardware. For consistent performance in data center deployments, keep connectors and ports free of dust and inspect or clean connector endfaces when necessary.
