BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-SP-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli QSFP28 50 m uros/uros

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-SP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable QSFP28 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. Optimised for low-latency, high-throughput environments, this male-to-male cable supports reliable connections in data centres, high-performance computing clusters and network switches where InfiniBand connectivity is required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 optical cable provides a long-reach 50 m connection while maintaining signal integrity and minimal latency. Its active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with copper alternatives, enabling stable performance in dense rack deployments. The plug-and-play QSFP28 male connectors simplify installation and replacement without special tooling.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers and switches in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Storage area networks and backup systems with QSFP28 ports
• Network aggregation and spine-leaf topologies

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable length: 50 metres
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Compatibility: InfiniBand and QSFP28 interfaces supporting high data rates
• Signal characteristics: designed for low latency and high throughput
• Physical: lightweight optical construction suitable for rack cabling

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into matching QSFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring the connector latch engages. Verify link status indicators on both ends after connection to confirm proper negotiation. Use appropriate cable routing to avoid sharp bends and secure the cable within rack management systems to prevent strain on connectors. No additional drivers are typically required, but confirm device firmware and port settings for InfiniBand operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Periodically inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with suitable optical cleaning tools if necessary. When deploying within racks, use cable management panels to reduce stress on the QSFP28 connectors and maintain airflow.
