BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-GM-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 2m QSFP28 konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-GM-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed connectivity in data center and high-performance computing environments. It supports the bandwidth and low-latency characteristics required by InfiniBand networks and provides a compact, electrically passive link replacement that reduces electromagnetic interference and power loss compared with long copper assemblies.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP28 AOC offers reliable high-throughput transmission with low latency, suitable for short-reach interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems. The fibre construction and QSFP28 interface ensure signal integrity at high data rates while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than comparable electrical cables. Compact QSFP28 connectors simplify port density in racks and reduce mechanical stress on transceiver ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and compute nodes in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage fabrics
• Short-reach uplinks and server-to-switch connections in rack deployments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 meters
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Performance characteristics: Low latency, high bandwidth suitable for 100Gb+ class links
• Physical: Lightweight fibre construction for reduced bend radius and improved routing

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on networking equipment, ensuring the connector latch engages. Use the cable for direct device-to-device links or short uplinks within a rack; avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for fibre assemblies. For hot-pluggable environments, follow equipment vendor guidelines for insertion and removal to prevent transceiver port damage.

Recommendations

For optimal operation, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep fibre connectors clean and capped when not in use, and pair the AOC with compatible InfiniBand QSFP28 ports certified for high-speed operation. Monitor ambient temperature near high-density ports to ensure system cooling is adequate.
