BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-NA-BO InfiniBand/sklenené vlákno kábel 30m QSFP28 konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-NA-BO is a 30-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre channel applications. It provides a single-cable solution for 100Gb/s interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems, delivering low latency and signal integrity over longer distances than copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable supports high data throughput while maintaining low power consumption and thermal output compared with equivalent electrical cabling. The pre-terminated design with robust QSFP28 male connectors reduces installation time and risk of connector contamination. Optical transmission ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and consistent performance in dense data-center racks.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand
• Storage area networks and SAN aggregation
• Network equipment interconnects requiring 100Gb/s QSFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 meters
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (fiber optics)
• Data rate: designed for 100Gb/s class links
• Application: InfiniBand and fiber channel compatible interconnects
• Form factor: factory-terminated, hot-pluggable QSFP28 module ends

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding 100Gb/s QSFP28 port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure ports and transceiver interfaces are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment vendor when connecting under power. Verify link status and port diagnostics from the host devices after connection to confirm proper signal negotiation and lane alignment.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and stress on the connector ends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use cable management panels or ties to secure runs and minimize movement. For optimal reliability, keep connector end faces clean and protected when disconnected and follow equipment vendor guidelines for firmware and port configuration when deploying QSFP28 links.
