BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-VA-BO InfiniBand/kuituoptinen kaapeli QSFP28 30 m pistoke/pistoke

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-VA-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP28 30m Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in modern data center and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP28 interface compatibility, this cable supports multi-lane high-speed links suitable for aggregation, server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections where consistent throughput and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides long-reach connectivity without the bulk and signal loss of copper cabling, offering stable performance over 30 metres. The QSFP28 connector format enables four-lane high-speed transmission while minimizing power consumption and heat generation compared with equivalent electrical solutions. The cable is factory-terminated and tested to ensure reliable interoperability with QSFP28 ports and existing InfiniBand and Ethernet infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch aggregation links
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage area network (SAN) connectivity and high-throughput I/O

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed fibre optic networking
• Performance: Multi-lane high-bandwidth transmission suitable for 100GbE/InfiniBand HDR and similar link rates (subject to device compatibility)
• Design: Factory-terminated, plug-and-play with standard QSFP28 ports

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the respective QSFP28 port on your devices, ensuring the latch engages and the connector is fully seated. The active optical cable is plug-and-play and typically requires no additional drivers; the connected devices should negotiate link parameters automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. For best results, verify link status through your device management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use this cable in controlled data centre environments with appropriate airflow and cable management. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force, and exposure to sources of electrical interference. Verify compatibility with your QSFP28 ports and firmware versions before deployment, and follow manufacturer guidelines for handling and storage to maintain long-term performance.
