BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-CN-BO InfiniBand-kuitukaapeli 2 m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable designed for high-density, high-bandwidth networking. It connects QSFP28 ports to deliver multi-lane 100Gb/s-class links over short distances inside racks or between adjacent equipment. The cable combines QSFP28 male connectors on both ends with a lightweight, flexible fibre assembly intended for modern data centre and high-performance computing setups.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC provides a compact, low-latency connection with high aggregate throughput suited to InfiniBand and Ethernet applications using QSFP28 interfaces. Being an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies and offers consistent signal integrity across its 2-metre length. The male-to-male QSFP28 ends simplify direct interconnection of switches, servers and storage nodes without the need for additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Data centre rack-to-rack or within-rack connections
• Switch-to-server and switch-to-switch interconnects
• InfiniBand-based storage networks and accelerated compute environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Supported link type: InfiniBand (compatible with QSFP28 interfaces)
• Bandwidth class: Multi-lane 100Gb/s-class aggregated throughput
• Form factor: Compact, flexible fibre assembly for high-density environments

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from your hardware vendor if live insertion is required. Verify link status and configuration in the host or switch management interface and confirm that InfiniBand or Ethernet settings match the intended topology and speed. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 2m QSFP28 AOC in short-reach applications within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bending radii and exposure to sources of mechanical stress. Follow your equipment vendor’s compatibility list for QSFP28 active optical cables and reboot or cycle ports if link negotiation fails. Store and handle the cable using protective caps on connectors when not in use.
