BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-NA-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 1m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-NA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects in server rooms and data centres. It supports multi-lane InfiniBand traffic and is intended for short-reach links where reliable, high-speed data transmission and compact cabling are required. The cable combines optical transmission advantages with the compact QSFP28 form factor to simplify rack-to-rack, chassis-to-chassis and switch-to-server connections.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP28 AOC offers low insertion loss, immunity to electromagnetic interference and consistent signal integrity over short distances. The male/male connector configuration enables direct connection between compatible QSFP28 ports without the need for transceivers, reducing system complexity and power consumption in dense network environments. Its compact and lightweight design facilitates neat cable management in constrained rack spaces.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre top-of-rack and spine-leaf interconnects
• Rack-to-rack or switch-to-server short-reach connections
• Low-latency applications such as storage networks and real-time processing

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data interconnects
• Signal: Multi-lane optical transmission for low latency
• Physical: Compact QSFP28 form factor, lightweight construction

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the devices to be linked. Ensure ports are compatible with QSFP28 AOC connections and power is managed according to the host equipment guidelines. The cable is plug-and-play; no separate transceivers are required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 1 m AOC for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive tension, repeated flexing or exposure to liquids and contaminants. Verify host firmware and driver compatibility with QSFP28 AOC modules where applicable. Store and handle the cable with care to maintain connector cleanliness and optical integrity.
