BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-IB-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 2m QSFP28 samec/samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-IB-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-density networking environments, this cable supports high-speed InfiniBand links between switches, servers and storage systems. Its 2 m length and QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration enable direct, low-latency connections inside racks and across short spans in data center topologies.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC delivers consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, helping to maintain throughput for bandwidth-intensive workloads. The compact active optical design reduces weight and heat generation while providing stable performance over the specified 2 m span. The male-to-male QSFP28 ends ensure broad compatibility with devices that accept QSFP28 InfiniBand transceivers or ports.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• Storage systems requiring low-latency, high-throughput links
• Short-reach rack-level cabling where QSFP28 ports are available

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 meters
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand (high-speed data links)
• Use case: Short-reach, rack-level and intra-rack interconnects
• Characteristic: Low latency, high bandwidth suitable for dense networking

How to use

Align the QSFP28 connectors with the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your devices and insert each end firmly until the connector latch engages. Verify link status on connected devices and configure port settings as required by your InfiniBand fabric or network management software. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the cable or port. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; follow device vendor guidance for port insertion and extraction.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach connections within racks or across adjacent racks. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer and keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges. Verify compatibility with your InfiniBand hardware and firmware to ensure supported link speeds and proper operation.
