Cabo de fibra ótica BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-SS-BO InfiniBand 1m Ficha QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-SS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1-meter active optical cable featuring QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transfer in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports low-latency links between switches, servers, and storage devices. Its compact 1 m length helps maintain tidy rack layouts while ensuring a reliable optical connection for short-reach links.

Advantages

This InfiniBand active optical cable offers high bandwidth and low latency typical of QSFP28 interfaces, with direct-attach convenience and compact form factor for dense equipment racks. As an optical link, it reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions, while providing consistent signal integrity over the specified 1 m reach. The integrated transceivers simplify deployment by eliminating separate modules and patch cords.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches and switches
• Short-reach links between servers and storage arrays in racks
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling where 1 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Performance characteristics: Designed for high bandwidth and low latency
• Form factor: Compact, direct-attach QSFP28 assembly

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure equipment is powered according to vendor guidance and that port settings match the intended InfiniBand link configuration. Avoid bending the cable sharply and maintain a short, unobstructed routing path within the rack to preserve optical performance. If link negotiation does not establish, check compatibility of QSFP28 ports and verify firmware or driver settings on devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 1 m AOC for short-reach connections within the same rack or adjacent racks. Keep bend radii within vendor specifications and protect connector ends from dust when disconnected. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 active optical links and update device firmware if necessary to ensure full link speeds and stable operation.
