BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-100G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 100G data transmission over multimode fiber. Engineered to follow MSA QSFP28 form-factor conventions, this AOC integrates optical transmitters and receivers into a single, fixed-length assembly to provide a low-latency, high-throughput link for data centers and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This 15m active optical cable supports 100G data rates and is compatible with systems that accept QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC connections. By combining transmitter and receiver modules within the cable assembly, it simplifies installation compared with separate transceivers plus patch fiber, reduces connector count and potential points of failure, and provides consistent electrical and optical characteristics over the 15 meter length. The cable is suitable for high-bandwidth interconnects and minimizes electromagnetic interference because data is transmitted optically.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems within data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency 100G links
• Aggregated uplinks and spine-leaf network topologies up to 15 m

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate support: 100G
• Transmission medium: multimode active optical cable (AOC)
• Form factor: QSFP28 compatible

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated properly and verified by the equipment link/status indicators. No separate transceivers or patch fiber are required. Use standard hot-plug procedures supported by your hardware vendor and consult the device documentation to confirm compatibility with 100GBASE-SR4 or other supported protocols.

Recommendations

Verify that your switches, routers or storage systems support QSFP28 AOC modules and the targeted 100G protocol before deployment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For best results in multivendor environments, test connectivity and performance during a maintenance window to confirm interoperability and link stability.
