Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-MA-BO 50m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-MA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable designed for high-throughput interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing installations. Equipped with QSFP28-compatible connectors, this cable supports high-speed InfiniBand links over a single continuous optical assembly, offering a reliable physical layer solution where low latency and consistent bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This 50m InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides consistent high-speed data transmission suitable for long-reach connections inside and between racks. The QSFP28-compatible male-to-male termination ensures compatibility with transceiver ports accepting QSFP28 interfaces, and the active optical design reduces signal attenuation compared to long copper runs. The cable's construction delivers stable performance with immunity to electromagnetic interference and predictable thermal characteristics for dense installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage nodes in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links
• Cabling between racks or rows where a 50-metre reach is needed
• Infrastructure upgrades to replace long copper links with optical InfiniBand connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28-compatible male to male
• Signal: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high bandwidth links typical of QSFP28 interfaces
• Electrical isolation: Optical transmission provides immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28-compatible male connector with the corresponding port on the network switch, server or storage device and gently insert until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that ports are powered and configured for the expected InfiniBand link speed. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius during routing. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the port or cable.

Recommendations

Maintain a clean environment around connector interfaces; inspect connectors before installation and avoid contaminants. Route the AOC to minimize mechanical stress and avoid tight bends. Verify firmware and port configuration for QSFP28/InfiniBand compatibility to ensure optimal performance.
