BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-FR-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel 1 m QSFP28 samec/samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-FR-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for high-density, high-throughput interconnects. Designed for use in data center racks and high-performance computing clusters, this QSFP28-to-QSFP28 cable supports multi-lane high-speed links while maintaining signal integrity over the 1 m distance. The cable combines compact QSFP28 connectors with fibre-optic transmission to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between switches, servers and storage appliances.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP28 cable delivers high-speed data transfer with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The active optical design enables consistent signal performance across all lanes and helps preserve link quality in densely populated rack environments. Its compact QSFP28 male/male connectors facilitate straightforward, tool-free insertion and removal, while the fibre construction provides resistance to crosstalk and improved thermal stability in demanding deployments.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand or QSFP28 links
• Direct connections between switches, servers and storage systems
• Low-latency, high-bandwidth networking for database and virtualization environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with fibre optic transmission
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported interface: InfiniBand / QSFP28 multi-lane high-speed links
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high bandwidth over short data centre links
• Physical characteristic: Compact QSFP28 connector housing for high-density ports

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28/InfiniBand interfaces and are powered off or set to a maintenance state if recommended by equipment vendors. Align the QSFP28 male connector with the device port and insert firmly until the connector latches. Verify link status on connected devices and configure network settings or link aggregation as required for your environment. For removal, release the connector latch and pull the cable straight out to avoid stressing the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends near the connector and maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Keep connectors capped when not in use and store the cable coiled loosely to prevent damage.
