BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 15-metre multimode fibre assembly designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, this fibre optic cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links commonly used in data centers and high-performance computing. The cable is intended for short- to medium-reach connections where reliable signal integrity and stable throughput are required.

Advantages

This 15m InfiniBand fibre cable provides consistent high-speed data transmission with minimal attenuation across the link. QSFP28-compatible terminations enable direct connection to compatible ports without the need for adapters. The cable's fibre construction ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable optical performance in dense networking environments. Its standardized connector type and length simplify deployment and cable management in rack and server topologies.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch InfiniBand connections
• High-performance computing clusters that require low-latency interconnects
• Data center rack cabling and network aggregation where QSFP28 ports are present
• Environments needing optical links resilient to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode fibre optic cable
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects and short-range optical links
• Performance: Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Verify that both endpoints have QSFP28 ports that support the required InfiniBand configuration. Route the 15m fibre cable through cable management channels, avoiding sharp bends and crush points. Insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding port until it clicks or seats firmly, and secure any retention mechanisms present on the equipment. After connection, confirm link status and data rates via the host or switch management interface and perform any required port configuration or firmware checks.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre cable by its jacket and connector housings; avoid touching the ferrule ends. Maintain bend radius recommendations provided by the equipment manufacturer and keep connectors clean to ensure optimal optical performance. For predictable performance in critical systems, periodically inspect connectors and replace the cable if physical damage or degraded link metrics are observed.
