BlueOptics ET7402-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics ET7402-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and networking environments, this AOC implements multimode optical links with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector to support low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching. Its 15 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and inter-equipment links while maintaining signal integrity for up to 100 Gbps-class applications. The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper solutions, and the multimode fibre path is suited to short-range, high-throughput deployments.

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network equipment until it seats securely. Ensure both endpoints officially support compatible QSFP28 AOC modules. No separate transceivers are required. After connection, verify link status and speed in your device management interface and confirm appropriate configuration for the chosen protocol (Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, etc.). Handle the fibre cable by the connector boots and avoid tight bends; follow site grounding and handling procedures for optical modules.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified 15 m range in short-reach multimode deployments and confirm compatibility with the QSFP28 ports on your switches, routers, or storage systems. Avoid sharp bends, protect the cable from crushing, and verify link parameters after installation. If in doubt, test the AOC in your target hardware to confirm interoperability before large-scale deployment.
