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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-throughput, low-latency interconnects in data centre and enterprise networking environments. Designed with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth InfiniBand links and is intended for direct connection of switches, servers and storage appliances where stable, long-reach optical links are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high data transfer rates suitable for InfiniBand networks while maintaining low latency and signal integrity over a 30-metre length. Optical construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and eliminates the weight and bulk of copper alternatives. QSFP28 male connectors ensure compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 transceivers, and the cable's plug-and-play design simplifies installation without additional transceiver modules.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Storage area networks and high-bandwidth storage arrays
• Low-latency trading platforms and real-time processing systems

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-bandwidth links
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, optical transmission to reduce EMI
• Typical environments: Data centre racks and networking cabinets

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 connections and InfiniBand optical links before installation. Power down or follow hot-plug guidelines for your equipment, then insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until it latches. Route the cable within rack space to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. After physical connection, verify link status and network configuration in your switch or host management interface.

Recommendations

Prefer short, secure cable runs inside racks or between adjacent racks to maintain signal quality; avoid kinking, excessive tension or exposure to sources of heat. Use proper cable management and label both ends for easier maintenance. Confirm firmware and port settings on connected devices to ensure optimal InfiniBand link performance.
