BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-QN-BO InfiniBand kuitukaapeli 1m QSFP28 liitin

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-QN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-density networking and server-to-switch interconnects, this cable supports high-speed data transfer in data centres and enterprise network environments. Its compact length and QSFP28 interface make it suitable for short-reach, low-latency connections where stable throughput and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC provides a consistent electrical-to-optical conversion with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The fixed 1 m length reduces cable clutter and simplifies cable management in racks and switch arrays. The robust QSFP28 connector housings and strain-relief design ensure reliable mating cycles and long-term mechanical durability under typical data centre conditions.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Top-of-rack and spine-leaf network fabrics with InfiniBand or compatible QSFP28 ports
• Short-reach links requiring low latency and high bandwidth
• Equipment racks where compact, managed cabling is needed

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand and compatible high-speed network protocols
• Use case: Short-reach, rack-to-rack or server-to-switch interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network device and insert until the connector latches. For removal, press the connector latch (if present) and pull straight out to avoid bending the ferrule or damaging the port. Use the 1 m length to route the cable cleanly within the rack, avoiding sharp bends and keeping minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. No special tooling is required for typical insertion and removal.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep the connectors clean and protected when not plugged in, and ensure firmware and host adapter settings are compatible with QSFP28 InfiniBand links. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and handle by the connector housing rather than the cable jacket.
