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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-MR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-throughput, low-latency connectivity in data centres and high-performance computing racks. Featuring QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand link layers and is suitable for short- to mid-range interconnects where parallel, high-bandwidth links are required. The design focuses on signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while offering flexible routing within equipment cabinets and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high data-rate transmission with low power consumption and stable signal performance over its 30-metre length. The QSFP28 male connectors enable straightforward plug-and-play installation into compatible ports, and the optical medium minimises crosstalk and susceptibility to electrical noise. The cable's flexibility and lightweight construction simplify cable management in dense rack environments and help maintain airflow and cooling efficiency.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing interconnects
• Data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row links
• InfiniBand switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Low-latency storage networking and clustered servers

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 metres
• Supported interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Transmission medium: Optical fibre
• Typical use environment: Data centre and HPC racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the connector latches securely. Ensure devices are powered and that port configurations match the InfiniBand link settings required by your network. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. Verify link status via the connected devices and perform any necessary firmware or driver checks for full compatibility.

Recommendations

Use this cable for intra-rack and inter-rack high-bandwidth connections where optical transmission and QSFP28 form factor are supported. Avoid kinking the cable and prevent exposure to direct mechanical stress. For optimal performance, confirm port speed and protocol settings on both ends and keep cable lengths consistent with your latency and throughput requirements.
