BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-MR-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 50 m QSFP28 pistoke

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-MR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male is a 50-metre active optical cable engineered for high-throughput, low-latency interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends and a 50 m reach, this cable provides a direct optical link between compatible QSFP28 ports, supporting multi-lane, high-speed data transmission while reducing electromagnetic interference and power consumption compared with equivalent copper alternatives.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for InfiniBand networks and other QSFP28-enabled systems. The active optical construction enables long-reach connections with consistent signal integrity and minimal latency. The QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with standard high-speed ports, while the 50 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row interconnect layouts without repeaters or additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack links in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring InfiniBand connectivity
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch QSFP28 connections
• Latency-sensitive storage and virtualization environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 50 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and QSFP28-compatible high-speed networks
• Performance: Designed for multi-lane high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking equipment, ensuring the connector latch engages securely. Route the cable along rack channels or overhead trays to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for optical integrity. The active optical cable is plug-and-play with compatible QSFP28 interfaces and typically requires no additional modules or configuration beyond port provisioning and link negotiation on network devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bending, crushing, or exposure to excessive heat. Use proper cable management to prevent strain on connectors and verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC solutions. For mission-critical installations, test links after installation to confirm expected throughput and latency.
