BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-MV-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP28 Male

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-MV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 male is a 15-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed short-reach interconnects. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand topologies and delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for modern data center and high-performance computing infrastructures. The cable's design focuses on consistent signal integrity and simplified deployment between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides high data throughput and reduced electrical interference compared with copper alternatives. The QSFP28 male-to-male form factor enables straightforward direct connections between switches, servers and network adapters without additional transceivers. At 15 metres length, it offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while maintaining low latency and stable performance required for clustered computing and storage networks.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• High-performance computing clusters and inter-node connections
• Storage area networks and SAN fabric interconnects
• Low-latency trading and real-time data processing setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (fibre optic)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnect
• Latency: Optimized for low-latency transmission
• Deployment: Short-reach rack and row connections

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, servers or network adapters. Ensure devices are powered down or ports are configured according to vendor guidance if required; then verify link status via device management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and minimize strain on the connectors. For best results, keep the connection within the specified 15 m range and pair with compatible InfiniBand-capable hardware.

Recommendations

Handle the QSFP28 connectors carefully, avoid excessive bending of the cable, and use appropriate cable management to maintain signal integrity. Verify compatibility with your InfiniBand host adapters and switches and ensure firmware or driver support for QSFP28 active optical cables when deploying in high-performance environments.
