BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-QL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-15M-QL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP28 Male/Male is an active optical cable designed for high-throughput, low-latency connections in data center and enterprise networking environments. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends and a 15 metre length, it supports direct connections between switches, servers and storage systems where reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for InfiniBand and 100G QSFP28 environments. Its optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper solutions and helps maintain signal quality over the 15 m span. The QSFP28 male terminations provide compact, standardized connectivity for modern high-density racks, while the cable construction balances flexibility and mechanical robustness for installation in server rooms and data halls.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between QSFP28 ports on switches and routers
• Server-to-switch links in rack and row topologies
• Storage system interconnects requiring high throughput and low latency
• Data centre aggregation and spine-leaf fabrics using InfiniBand or 100G interfaces

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet compatible interconnects
• Signal medium: Optical fibre (integrated transceivers)
• Designed for: High-bandwidth, low-latency data centre links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switch, server or storage device and insert until the connector latch engages. Ensure equipment is powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor when connecting under power. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Verify link status and interface diagnostics through your network equipment management tools after installation.
