BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-BC-BO cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-BC-BO is a 3-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 Male connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic links. It provides a compact, factory-terminated connection that supports 100Gb/s class data transmission over a short reach. The cable is intended for use in rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-switch interconnects where low latency and consistent bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC offers the advantages of optical transmission with the convenience of an integrated cable assembly: reduced electromagnetic interference, stable signal integrity at high data rates and straightforward plug-and-play installation. The 3 m length balances reach and manageability in dense cabling environments, while the male-to-male QSFP28 interface ensures compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports commonly found in modern switches and servers.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch 100Gb/s links over short distances
• Low-latency trading systems and latency-sensitive applications

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 Male to QSFP28 Male
• Length: 3 meters
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Supported data rate: 100Gb/s class (per cable assembly)
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre within the AOC assembly
• Typical application: short-reach data centre and server interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure the devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the device manufacturer if inserting while powered. Verify link status in your network equipment management interface once connected. Avoid sharp bends in the cable and route it to minimize stress on the connectors and to maintain optimal optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard fibre optic best practices: avoid tight bending radii, keep connector interfaces covered when not in use, and inspect connectors for contamination before insertion. Use this 3 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth links where reliability and low latency are priorities.
