Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-CP-BO 30 m QSFP28 macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-CP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects in data centre and enterprise networking environments. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this AOC supports high-speed InfiniBand links and is intended for direct connections between switches, servers and storage systems where reliable data transmission and signal integrity are essential.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides extended reach compared to copper alternatives while maintaining signal quality and low power consumption. The QSFP28 form factor supports high-density ports and simplifies rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling. Construction and shielding reduce electromagnetic interference and the optical medium eliminates copper-related heat generation, making it suitable for dense, performance-sensitive installations.

Suitable for

• High-performance InfiniBand links between servers and switches
• Data centre rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects
• Connections between compute nodes and storage arrays
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput networking

Key specifications

• Length: 30 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand (high-speed data links)
• Use case: Data centre and enterprise networking interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP28 male connectors with the respective QSFP28 ports on the devices and insert until the connector latch engages. Ensure both ends are properly seated and that connected devices are powered and configured for matching InfiniBand link settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius; secure the cable in the rack to prevent stress on the connectors. For diagnostics, verify link status indicators on connected equipment and check system logs if the link does not establish.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre optic cable by the connector housings and avoid touching optical interfaces. Maintain a minimum bend radius and keep the cable away from sources of mechanical strain and high heat. Use this AOC in environments that support the QSFP28 form factor and verify compatibility with device firmware and InfiniBand speed settings before deployment.
