Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-AO-BO 2 m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-AO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. It provides a direct, low-latency connection suitable for short-reach interconnects in data centre racks and high-performance computing systems. The male-to-male QSFP28 ends enable straightforward insertion into compatible network adapters, switches and servers without additional transceivers.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable supports high aggregate bandwidth and low power consumption compared with equivalent copper interconnects. The active optical design reduces signal degradation over the 2 m length while maintaining signal integrity and low latency. The QSFP28 male connectors on both ends ensure wide compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP28 ports and simplify installation and replacement in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency connections
• Direct connections between network adapters and top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Environments where reduced weight and EMI immunity of optical cabling are desired

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth server and switch interconnects
• Performance characteristics: Designed for low latency and high signal integrity over 2 m

How to use

Inspect both QSFP28 connectors and port openings for dust and debris before installation. Align and insert each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding device port until it seats securely, following the device manufacturer's guidance for connector engagement. Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. For removal, release any latch or retention mechanism on the connector and withdraw straight out to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m active optical cable for short, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks. Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination. Verify compatibility with your equipment's QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand implementation prior to deployment.
