BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-MV-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 30m QSFP28 konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-MV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable designed for high-throughput, low-latency interconnects in data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable uses QSFP28 male terminations on both ends and supports the bandwidth and signalling necessary for InfiniBand and compatible 100GbE or similar link technologies. Its 30 m length gives flexibility for cross-rack or longer intra-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity inherent to active optical designs.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high data rates with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The QSFP28 male connectors provide direct compatibility with ports designed for QSFP28 modules, enabling straightforward deployment. The 30 m length allows for longer reach without the need for additional transceivers or patch panels, and the fibre-based construction reduces weight and improves heat management in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects between switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Cross-rack or long intra-rack connections up to 30 metres
• Environments where EMI immunity and signal integrity are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 metres
• Supported interfaces: InfiniBand and QSFP28-compatible high-speed links
• Transmission: Fibre optic signalling for high bandwidth and low attenuation

How to use

Verify that both ends of the connection accept QSFP28 male connectors and that the host equipment supports InfiniBand or compatible QSFP28 links. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius. Insert the QSFP28 connectors into the equipment ports until they latch securely, then confirm link status via the host devices. For removal, unlock the connector latches before withdrawing to avoid damage to the transceiver ports.

Recommendations

Store and handle the optic cable in a clean environment; avoid contaminating connector endfaces. Use dust caps when the cable is not connected. Ensure airflow and rack layout allow for the 30 m routing without excessive bending or tension to preserve performance and service life.
