BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-IT-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 30m connettore QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-IT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed interconnects in data centre and server environments. It features QSFP28 male connectors at each end and supports InfiniBand protocol for low-latency, high-throughput data transmission. The cable’s length and connector type are suitable for linking switches, storage systems and computing nodes where reliable, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This 30 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers consistent signal integrity with minimal latency across long rack-to-rack distances. Its QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies direct device connections without additional transceivers. The active optical design provides lower power consumption and heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions, while maintaining high data rates and robust performance in dense cabling setups.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• Storage area networks and SAN fabrics
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-host links requiring QSFP28 interfaces

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Protocol support: InfiniBand
• Length: 30 metres
• Use case: high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects
• Form factor: multifunctional QSFP28 interface compatible with 100Gb/s lanes

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP28 male connectors with the corresponding ports on each device and insert until the connectors click into place. Ensure both devices are powered off or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by the device manufacturer. Verify link status through the host or switch management interface after connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius indicated by the equipment vendor.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this QSFP28 AOC in environments with controlled temperature and proper airflow. Avoid sharp bends and physical stress on the cable, and confirm compatibility with device firmware and ports prior to deployment. Regularly inspect connections and replace the cable if any damage or degraded link quality is observed.
