BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-PT-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 50 m QSFP28 konektor samec

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and networking environments. Engineered for low latency and stable signal integrity, this cable supports the demands of high-performance computing and large-scale storage networks while simplifying rack-to-rack and device-to-device connections over longer distances than copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP28-to-QSFP28 active optical cable delivers high bandwidth with reduced electromagnetic interference and lower heat dissipation compared to equivalent copper assemblies. Its 50 m length provides flexible placement of network equipment without signal repeaters, and the QSFP28 male connectors ensure compatibility with InfiniBand and other QSFP28-capable ports. The all-optical design contributes to consistent throughput and minimal latency for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and leaf/spine architectures in data centres
• Server-to-switch connections in high-performance computing clusters
• Storage area network links and SAN aggregation
• Rack-to-rack links requiring 50 metre reach with QSFP28 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 50 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported interface: InfiniBand / QSFP28-capable ports
• Performance focus: High bandwidth, low latency

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network devices, ensuring the retention latch engages. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and pressure points; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for optical assemblies. Once connected, verify link status on the devices and monitor throughput to confirm the expected bandwidth and latency characteristics. When disconnecting, release the latch before pulling the connector to prevent port or cable damage.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable in environments where consistent high throughput and low latency are required. Avoid sharp bends, exposure to liquids, and environments with excessive mechanical stress. For long-term reliability, periodically inspect connectors for debris and ensure proper port alignment when inserting or removing the cable.
