BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-EE-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 2 m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data connections. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth links typically used in data centres and high-performance computing clusters. Its optical design minimises signal loss and electromagnetic interference, providing stable connectivity between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This 2m InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers a compact, plug-and-play connection that simplifies deployment in dense rack environments. The active optical construction reduces heat generation compared with equivalent electrical copper assemblies and enables longer reach without repeaters. QSFP28 connectivity provides compatibility with a wide range of 100 Gbps and InfiniBand networking equipment, while the factory-terminated ends ensure consistent performance and reduced installation time.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Rack-to-rack interconnects in dense network topologies
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 metres (approx.)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported interface: InfiniBand / 100 Gbps QSFP28-compatible links
• Signal characteristics: Low insertion loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and that the network equipment is powered down or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by the equipment vendor. Align the QSFP28 connectors with the port guides and insert firmly until the retention mechanism engages. Verify link status via the host or switch management interface; the cable requires no additional drivers. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Install in infrastructure with adequate airflow and avoid tight bends near the connector ends. For best results, pair with QSFP28-compliant ports and monitor link diagnostics after installation. When planning cable runs in racks, allow service loops and secure the cable to prevent strain or movement that could affect connection integrity.
