Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-QL-BO 30m QSFP28 maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-QL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in data center and enterprise networks. With QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, the cable supports InfiniBand topologies and high-speed links between switches, servers and storage arrays. Its AOC design delivers electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable assembly to reduce electromagnetic interference and provide consistent signal integrity over longer distances compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC provides high data throughput with reduced latency and stable performance suitable for demanding network environments. The fully shielded optical link eliminates concerns about crosstalk and EMI, while the 30 m length offers flexible routing options within racks and between adjacent rows or rooms. Plug-and-play QSFP28 male connectors simplify installation and integration without the need for transceivers, reducing component count and potential points of failure.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand links between switches and servers
• Server-to-storage connections in data centres
• Inter-rack and intra-row connections where 30 m cable length is required
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Characteristic: Low latency, high bandwidth optical transmission
• Interference: Immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on network devices such as switches, servers or storage controllers. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the device manufacturer if connecting while live. Route the 30 m cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. After connection, verify link status and data rates via device management interfaces to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius and protect connector endfaces from contamination. Use the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC in rack and data centre installations where optical connectivity reduces EMI and improves signal integrity; verify compatibility with device QSFP28 port specifications and firmware for optimal performance.
