BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-CN-BO InfiniBand-kuitu kaapeli 1 m QSFP28 uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable designed for high‑speed InfiniBand interconnects. It provides a direct QSFP28 to QSFP28 male connection, enabling low‑latency, high‑bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage devices in data centres and high‑performance computing environments. The single‑metre length minimises excess cabling while supporting reliable signal integrity and consistent throughput for short‑reach deployments.

Advantages

This QSFP28 InfiniBand cable delivers high aggregate bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding networking tasks. Active optical design reduces power consumption compared with some copper solutions and offers improved thermal behaviour in dense rack installations. The compact 1 m length helps maintain tidy cable management and reduces signal loss associated with longer runs. Connectors are engineered for repeatable mating cycles and secure, low‑profile rack connections.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High‑performance computing clusters and GPU compute nodes
• Storage area networks and high‑throughput I/O links
• Short‑reach interconnects within server racks and top‑of‑rack deployments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Interface: InfiniBand (compatible with QSFP28 ports)
• Typical application: Short‑reach, high‑bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port on your network device, ensuring the latch engages fully. No external transceivers or additional configuration are required when connecting compatible QSFP28 InfiniBand ports; the devices will negotiate link parameters automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. For hot‑swap capable equipment, power state changes are typically not necessary, but follow your hardware vendor’s guidance for safe installation in live environments.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 1 m AOC in short‑reach rack and top‑of‑rack setups where QSFP28 InfiniBand ports are available. Maintain manufacturer‑recommended bend radii, avoid tensile strain on connectors, and verify compatibility with host devices to ensure full bandwidth and low‑latency operation.
