BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-BC-BO InfiniBand optický kabel QSFP28 50m samec/samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-BC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable QSFP28 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand links. It uses QSFP28 form-factor connectors in a male-to-male configuration to provide reliable, low-latency optical connectivity between compatible network devices. The cable is intended for environments where sustained high throughput and signal integrity are required, such as data centres and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fibre optic cable delivers high data-rate transmission with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The active optical design enables long-reach connectivity at 50 metres while keeping signal loss and latency low. The standardized QSFP28 connectors ensure compatibility with equipment that supports the QSFP28 interface and InfiniBand signalling, and the single-cable assembly simplifies rack-to-rack or switch-to-server interconnects.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and node interconnects
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections in data centres
• Low-latency server-to-switch links for storage and compute networks
• InfiniBand fabric expansion and equipment interconnection

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 50 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Transmission characteristics: low latency, high throughput
• Physical: lightweight, flexible optical assembly suitable for data centre cabling

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices and insert until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support the InfiniBand signalling and QSFP28 physical interface before connecting. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. After connection, verify link status and performance through device management interfaces or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Handle the active optical cable carefully: avoid excessive pulling, twisting, or bending beyond the specified radius. Use the cable within equipment racks and conduit that provide strain relief and minimize dust exposure to connector interfaces. For reliable operation in critical systems, verify compatibility with switch and host adapters and monitor link health after installation.
