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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-PA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed interconnects in data centre environments. It uses QSFP28 form-factor connectors on both ends to provide a compact, direct connection between devices that support InfiniBand or compatible QSFP28 ports. The cable is intended to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth links with minimal signal degradation across short distances inside racks and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers a compact male-to-male connection that reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The optical construction provides high bandwidth capacity suitable for modern server and switch platforms while maintaining consistent signal integrity. Its 2 m length balances reach and manageability for typical data centre topologies and simplifies cable routing in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Inter-switch links within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Equipment requiring QSFP28 male-to-male optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand and devices with QSFP28-compatible ports
• Use case: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices and gently inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both endpoints are powered and that link indicators on the devices signal a successful connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; the optical fibres within the assembly require careful handling to maintain performance. For removal, depress the latch mechanism and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC for short-reach, high-throughput links within racks or between adjacent racks. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid crushing or kinking the cable, and verify device compatibility with QSFP28 optical links before deployment. For structured cabling, label both ends to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
