BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-PA-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 1 m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-PA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1-meter active optical cable equipped with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable supports InfiniBand links and is intended for use in environments that require low-latency, high-bandwidth connections such as data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The compact 1 m length helps reduce cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity over short rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high throughput with QSFP28 connectivity and is engineered for reliable signal transmission over short distances. Its one-meter length simplifies cable management and reduces insertion loss risks compared with longer passive copper alternatives. The connector form factor is compatible with devices supporting QSFP28 ports, providing a standardised interface for InfiniBand networks. As an optical solution, it provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-range interconnects
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported interface: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Application: Short-range, high-bandwidth data transmission

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand interfaces before connecting. Align the QSFP28 connectors with the device ports and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status on connected equipment and configure network settings according to your InfiniBand fabric or switch requirements. For removal, release the connector latch and gently extract the cable. Handle the optical connectors by the housing and avoid bending the cable sharply to maintain performance.

Recommendations

Place the cable in a protected routing path to avoid mechanical stress, maintain bend radius according to manufacturer guidelines, and avoid exposure to liquids or extreme temperatures. Use the 1 m length for short interconnects to minimise latency and improve airflow in dense rack installations.
