BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-NA-BO InfiniBand-kuitukaapeli 50m QSFP28 uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-NA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed direct connections between QSFP28 ports. It provides a single-cable solution for short- to medium-reach links in data center and high-performance computing environments, supporting reliable low-latency data transmission over a stable optical link.

Advantages

This QSFP28 male-to-male cable combines the bandwidth characteristics of InfiniBand interfaces with the reduced power consumption and signal integrity of active optical technology. Its 50 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack and aisle connections without the need for transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying cabling. The cable is designed to maintain consistent performance in environments requiring sustained high throughput and low jitter.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack or inter-aisle connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and node interconnects
• Low-latency storage area network links
• Any QSFP28-capable InfiniBand ports requiring 50 m optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 50 metres
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Typical use: Short- to medium-reach data center interconnects

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 plug securely into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking or compute devices until the connector latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from your hardware vendor if required. Route the cable following standard data center cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Verify link status and negotiated speed through device management interfaces after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer and avoid physical stress on the connectors. Use this 50 m AOC in environments with compatible QSFP28 ports and ensure firmware and driver support for InfiniBand or the target protocol to achieve full throughput and low latency.
