BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-AO-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 1m QSFP28 stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-AO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. Featuring QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed InfiniBand links and provides reliable optical transmission over a short reach. The compact, single-cable format simplifies server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects while reducing electrical interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP28 Active Optical Cable delivers high data throughput with lower power consumption and improved signal integrity versus equivalent copper solutions. Its optical construction offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and enables consistent performance in dense cabling environments. The male-to-male QSFP28 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation in compatible ports, while the fixed-length design reduces the need for additional transceivers or patch panels for short interconnects.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks in high-performance networks
• High-performance computing clusters and storage fabric links
• Short-reach InfiniBand interconnects requiring QSFP28 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Interface standard: InfiniBand with QSFP28 form factor
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth optical interconnect
• Immunity: Resistant to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on networking devices such as switches, servers or host adapters. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance from your hardware vendor when connecting or disconnecting. Confirm link status and interface settings in the device management interface after connection. No external transceivers are required for operation; the cable integrates the necessary optical components.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC in short-reach links within the same rack or adjacent racks. Verify compatibility with device QSFP28 port specifications and firmware versions, and avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable to maintain optical integrity.
