BlueOptics 00MP548-BO καλώδιο οπτικής ίνας InfiniBand 15 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics 00MP548-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP28 is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. It supports 100GBASE-SR4 multimode fibre links and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to carry optical signals while complying with MSA form-factor requirements. The cable is intended as a direct-attach optical solution for devices that accept QSFP28 interfaces and support the corresponding 100G protocols.

Advantages

The cable provides a pre-assembled optical connection that avoids the need for individual patch cords and reduces potential signal attenuation from additional connectors. As an active optical cable, it enables simultaneous transmit and receive on QSFP28 ports and supports high aggregate bandwidth up to 100 Gbit/s over the 15 m multimode link. The built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM, MSA SFF-8472 compliant) allows monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features. The AOC design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and delivers a compact, lightweight, and flexible cabling option for dense rack and data centre installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports in switches and routers
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch 100G connections over multimode fibre up to 15 m
• High-throughput storage and SAN links using Fibre Channel over Ethernet or Ethernet at 100G
• Data centre top-of-rack and aggregation-level optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Protocol support: 100GBASE-SR4 / 100 Gbit/s multimode Ethernet
• Fibre type: Multimode fibre for short-reach 100G links
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (MSA SFF-8472) when supported by host
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference: inherent to fibre optic transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00MP548-BO by plugging the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your network devices. Ensure both devices support QSFP28 and the 100GBASE-SR4 or equivalent 100G protocol. Handle the cable by the connector housings when inserting or removing; avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress along the cable length. If the host system supports DDM/DOM, enable or consult the hardware monitoring interface to view real-time diagnostic metrics for link health and performance.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where a 15 m multimode 100G optical link is required and verify device compatibility with QSFP28 active optical cables. Maintain bend radius guidelines and keep connectors free of dust; store unused ends with protective caps. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the connected equipment before relying on diagnostic readouts.
