BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-NK-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 1m QSFP28 maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-NK-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in data centres and enterprise networks. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed InfiniBand links and is intended for short-reach interconnects between switches, servers and storage arrays where stable signal integrity and minimal loss are required.

Advantages

This 1m QSFP28 active optical cable provides a compact, plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying rack cabling. The fibre construction delivers electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while maintaining high throughput and low latency suitable for InfiniBand fabrics. The single-metre length helps manage cable routing and airflow in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-speed links between QSFP28 ports in data centres
• Interconnecting servers, storage arrays and network switches
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Rack-mounted equipment with limited cable management space

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Interface: InfiniBand / QSFP28 compatible
• Performance: Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission
• Construction: Fibre optic with integrated transceiver electronics

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each QSFP28 male connector into matching QSFP28 ports on network equipment until the latch engages. The active optical cable requires no external power beyond the host port and no additional transceivers, but confirm that connected devices support QSFP28 AOC links and the intended InfiniBand speed. Route the 1m cable to avoid tight bends; follow vendor bend-radius and handling guidelines to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch or server firmware and port configuration before deployment. Maintain gentle cable routing, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force, and keep connector endfaces clean to ensure consistent signal quality.
