BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-SS-BO InfiniBand kuituoptinen kaapeli 2 m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-SS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand environments and is intended for short-reach links between switches, servers and network adapters in data centre and high-performance computing installations.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers high data throughput with consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its fixed 2 m length simplifies rack and chassis planning while the factory-terminated male/male QSFP28 connectors ensure a plug-and-play installation. The optical construction reduces heat generation and supports reliable operation in dense equipment racks.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and compute nodes
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Storage area networks and low-latency trading platforms
• Server racks and blade chassis short-reach interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Compatibility: InfiniBand and QSFP28-capable ports for high-speed links
• Signal type: Optical, designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on devices such as switches, servers or adapters until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints are powered and that port configurations match the intended InfiniBand link settings. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain gentle cable routing within the rack to prevent stress on the optical assemblies.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the fibre. Maintain the 2 m length as specified and route the AOC to minimize bend radius and mechanical strain. Verify compatibility with device ports and firmware requirements before deployment to ensure link negotiation and optimal throughput.
