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

The BlueOptics JNP-QSFP28-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15‑metre active optical cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high‑speed links in data centers and high‑performance computing environments. It is compatible with 100GBASE‑SR4 applications and implements a transmitter and receiver on each connector to transfer optical signals over multimode fiber, following MSA standards.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides reliable 100 Gbps connectivity over a 15 m distance while maintaining QSFP28 form‑factor compatibility. Compliance with MSA connector specifications ensures interoperability with platforms that support the equivalent original module. The integrated optical transceivers on both ends reduce the need for separate transceiver modules and simplify cabling for high‑density environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems in data centers
• High‑performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand or 100G Ethernet links
• Top‑of‑rack and aggregation layer connections with 100GBASE‑SR4 support

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 (male/male)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Nominal data rate: up to 100 Gbit/s
• Effective length: 15 metres
• Supported protocols: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET (protocol support depends on host platform)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into a compatible QSFP28 port on the devices to be connected, ensuring secure mechanical engagement. Verify that the connected hardware supports 100GBASE‑SR4 or the intended protocol and that any port settings match the network configuration. The cable contains active optical transmitters and receivers; no separate transceivers are required. Monitor link status through device management tools after installation to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling on the cable jacket. Install in temperature‑controlled rack environments and ensure compatibility with the host hardware firmware and port settings. For critical deployments, test the link and verify performance under expected traffic loads before putting into production.
