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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-MV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1 meter active optical cable engineered for high-speed, short-reach connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth InfiniBand links and is intended for low-latency, high-throughput interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems. The design emphasizes signal integrity and predictable performance over the specified 1 m length, making it suitable for top-of-rack and intra-rack deployments.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers a compact, lightweight alternative to copper assemblies while eliminating the need for additional transceivers. It delivers high data rates with reduced electromagnetic interference and improved thermal performance compared with comparable copper solutions. The fixed 1 m length simplifies cable management in dense rack environments and helps maintain consistent optical performance across connections.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand interconnects between switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low latency
• Top-of-rack and intra-rack connections in data centers
• Direct attach connections for storage arrays and SANs

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand (high-speed, low-latency)
• Use case: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data center interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure ports support InfiniBand and are configured for the intended data rates. Route the cable within the rack to avoid excessive bending; follow device vendor guidelines for minimum bend radius and proper cable strain relief. No additional optical transceivers are required when using this active optical cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable, maintain clean connector interfaces, and verify compatibility with host ports and firmware. Use the 1 m length for intra-rack or short inter-rack runs to preserve signal performance and simplify airflow and cable management in dense installations.
