BlueOptics 470-ACMD InfiniBand καλώδιο οπτικών ινών 15 m QSFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics 470-ACMD InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP28 Aqua is a pre-terminated multimode link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and enterprise networking environments. With QSFP28 connectors and a 15 metre length, this fibre cable supports short-range, low-latency connections between switches, servers and storage systems where InfiniBand protocols or compatible high-speed interfaces are required.

Advantages

This cable delivers consistent signal integrity and low insertion loss across its length, enabling reliable performance for high-bandwidth applications. The QSFP28 connector format ensures compatibility with modern InfiniBand and compatible QSFP28 ports, while the 15 m reach provides flexibility in rack-to-rack and aisle-to-aisle deployments. The aqua-coloured jacket aids quick identification of OM3/OM4 multimode fibre links in mixed-media installations.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres using InfiniBand or QSFP28 ports
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and server interconnects
• Connections between switches, storage arrays and compute nodes requiring short-range multimode fibre
• Network equipment testing and temporary high-speed links during maintenance

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Length: 15 m
• Fibre type: multimode (aqua jacket indicates OM3/OM4 class multimode fibre)
• Typical use: short-range, high-bandwidth InfiniBand-compatible links
• Designed for low insertion loss and low latency transmission

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into matching QSFP28 ports on the intended devices, ensuring connectors are fully seated and retention latches engage. Route the cable through the rack or cable tray with gentle bends—avoid tight radii or crushing forces that can damage the fibre. Verify link status on connected devices and run appropriate diagnostics or throughput tests to confirm performance after installation.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre optic cable by the connector boots and outer jacket; do not touch or contaminate connector endfaces. Use dust caps when ports are unused and clean connectors with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. Maintain bend radius, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and follow equipment vendor guidance for InfiniBand/SFP28 port configuration to achieve optimal results.
