BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-VA-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 1m connettore QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-VA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1-metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transfer, it supports InfiniBand architectures and high-performance networking in data centres and computing clusters. The cable offers a compact, interference-free link suitable for short-reach connections between switches, servers and storage units where low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high bandwidth and low latency for demanding network environments while reducing electrical interference compared with copper alternatives. Its 1 m length allows tidy, short-reach connections with minimal signal loss. The QSFP28 connector format ensures compatibility with devices that accept quad-lane 100Gbps-class interfaces, and the optical construction delivers stable transmission performance under typical data-centre operating conditions.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Storage area network interconnects requiring low latency
• Short-reach server rack cabling where compact, high-bandwidth links are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand / high-speed data interconnects
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical link designed for short-reach high-bandwidth connections
• Typical usage: Rack-level interconnects, switch and server links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port on the devices and insert until a secure latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines recommended by your hardware vendor if connecting to active equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to prevent damage to the connector or port.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable in indoor rack environments with controlled temperature and humidity. Keep connector end faces clean and protected when not in use; inspect and, if necessary, clean end faces with appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools before installation. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 InfiniBand interfaces and consult device documentation for any required firmware or settings related to active optical cables.
