Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-EE-BO 1 m QSFP28 macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for high-density, high-speed interconnects in data centres and enterprise networking racks. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand environments and is intended for short-reach links between switches, servers and storage systems. Its compact form factor and 1 m length make it suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where signal integrity and low latency are important.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers high bandwidth and low power consumption compared with equivalent copper assemblies, enabling efficient 100Gbps-class connectivity. The pre-terminated optical design reduces installation time and eliminates field termination, while the fixed 1-metre length minimises excess cabling in dense installations. Robust QSFP28 connectors ensure consistent mating and demating performance and maintain signal quality for reliable data transfer in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand connections between switches and servers
• High-density data centre top-of-rack and within-rack cabling
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects requiring low-latency links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported interface: InfiniBand, 100Gbps-class links
• Application: short-reach, high-bandwidth data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, servers or HBAs until the connector latches. No field termination or additional transceivers are required. Ensure that connected devices are powered off or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by the equipment vendor. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and verify link status through the host system or network management interface after connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC in short-reach paths within racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, avoid tight bundling with power cables, and verify firmware and driver compatibility for InfiniBand endpoints to ensure stable 100Gbps operation.
