BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-MR-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 1m QSFP28 male

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-MR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and professional networking environments. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer suitable for InfiniBand networks and other 100GbE class links. The single-metre length minimises excess cabling while providing a direct, reliable connection between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high throughput with low signal loss and minimal latency, enabling stable performance for demanding applications. Its compact 1 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in rack installations. The QSFP28 connector format provides compatibility with modern high-speed ports, and the robust construction ensures consistent optical performance and long service life under normal data-centre operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between QSFP28 ports in switches, servers and storage systems
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand interconnects
• Top-of-rack and aggregation layer links in data centres
• Short-reach 100 GbE links where optical active cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 m
• Application: InfiniBand and 100 Gb class high-speed links
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high throughput

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices are powered and that firmware or driver support is present for QSFP28/AOC links. Use the 1 m active optical cable for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent devices; avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve optical integrity. If necessary, check link status indicators on the connected devices to verify a successful link.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Use the 1 m length for direct rack-level connections to minimise excess cabling and preserve airflow. Confirm compatibility with your equipment's QSFP28 and InfiniBand standards before deployment.
