BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-PT-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 3m QSFP28 konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 3-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed server and switch interconnects. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this cable supports dense, low-latency links used in data centers and high-performance computing environments. Its compact AOC design reduces electromagnetic interference and eliminates the need for separate transceivers while delivering stable throughput across short to medium rack-to-rack distances.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding applications. The active optical design ensures energy-efficient signal conversion and stable performance without the bulk of copper alternatives. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration allows straightforward direct connections between compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, servers and storage units. Its 3 m length is convenient for typical rack and cabinet layouts and helps maintain clean cable management.

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 3 metres
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand / high-speed data centre interconnects
• Performance characteristics: designed for low latency and high bandwidth links
• Physical: lightweight, flexible cable suitable for rack installations

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on networking equipment, ensuring the latch engages. No external transceivers or additional configuration are required beyond standard port setup and firmware compatibility. For best signal integrity, route the cable following rack cable management practices and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility of device firmware and port configuration with QSFP28 AOC modules before deployment. Use the 3 m length for intra-rack or nearby rack connections and follow manufacturer guidelines for bend radius and handling to preserve optical performance.
