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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-SP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable engineered for high‑speed short‑reach interconnects. It uses QSFP28 form‑factor connectors on both ends to support InfiniBand links and compatible 100 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. The cable is intended for point‑to‑point connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 male‑to‑male optical cable provides high data throughput with low power consumption compared with comparable copper options. The active optical design reduces signal degradation over the one‑metre length and maintains signal integrity for InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet protocols. Its compact, lightweight construction simplifies routing in dense cabling environments and reduces strain on ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers with QSFP28 ports
• Interconnecting rack‑mounted servers in data centres
• High‑performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Storage arrays and compute nodes requiring 100Gbps links

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 100 Gigabit Ethernet
• Typical application: short‑reach rack and adjacent‑rack interconnects
• Design characteristics: lightweight, low‑profile jacket for dense installations

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the matching QSFP28 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring that latch mechanisms engage securely. Use the cable for direct device‑to‑device connections in the same rack or between neighbouring racks; avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Verify that connected devices are configured for the intended link speed and protocol (InfiniBand or 100GbE) and check link status indicators after connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to prevent tight bends and protect connector ends when handling. Use the 1‑metre length for short‑reach interconnects and avoid using it in environments with high mechanical stress. Confirm compatibility with equipment vendor supported QSFP28 AOCs and follow device firmware and driver recommendations for InfiniBand or 100GbE links.
