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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-MT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends designed for high-speed data transmission. Intended for data center and high-performance computing applications, the cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems. The compact QSFP28 form factor allows dense port deployment while the 2 m length provides a practical reach for short to medium interconnects.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers high aggregate throughput and low signal attenuation for reliable, consistent performance in demanding networking environments. The QSFP28 male connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation and maintain mechanical stability in rack-mounted equipment. As an active optical cable, it offers electrical isolation, reduced crosstalk and better heat management compared with equivalent copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports in data center switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters and node-to-node links
• Connections between servers and storage systems with InfiniBand interfaces
• Short to medium length links in rack and cabinet environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 meters
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Use environment: Data center and high-performance computing

How to use

Verify that both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and support InfiniBand links. Align the QSFP28 male connectors with the port guides and insert the cable straight into the slot until the connector latches. Avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connector and maintain the specified bend radius to prevent damage. For removal, release the connector latch and pull the connector straight out without twisting. Ensure equipment is powered and properly configured for InfiniBand operation after physical connection.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Use the 2 m length where direct rack-to-rack or server-to-switch connections are required, and verify firmware and driver support for QSFP28 and InfiniBand on connected equipment to ensure full performance.
