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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-RW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. It provides a compact, low-latency link suitable for interconnects between switches, servers and high-performance computing equipment. The single-meter length supports short-reach connections where signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are important.

Advantages

This cable combines QSFP28 connectivity with active optical technology to deliver high bandwidth and low power consumption compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The fixed 1 m length minimizes excess cabling in dense rack environments while preserving signal quality. Passive handling and robust connector housings ensure repeatable mating cycles and stability in rack-mounted deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Dense rack layouts where compact, low-profile cabling is needed
• Low-latency applications such as virtualization hosts and storage networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Intended standard: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data links
• Physical: Compact form factor for dense rack deployment

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper alignment and firm seating. Verify link activity and speed on both endpoints after installation. Use the 1 m length to route connections inside racks or between adjacent rack units; avoid tight bends at the cable ends and ensure clearance around installed connectors to prevent mechanical strain. Follow standard data center safety and grounding practices when handling and installing optical interconnects.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain minimum bend radius and avoid kinks. Use this 1 m AOC for connections where short, direct links reduce latency and cable clutter; inspect connectors before mating and keep dust caps until installation. Store and handle the cable in a clean, static-free environment.
