Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-VA-BO 3m QSFP28 ficha/ficha

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-VA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3-meter active optical cable fitted with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable supports low-latency links commonly required in data centres, high-performance computing clusters and storage networks. The single, factory-terminated assembly reduces the need for separate transceivers and simplifies rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch interconnects.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC delivers high bandwidth with reduced signal loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The integrated optical transceivers and fixed-length design ensure consistent performance over its 3 m reach, enabling predictable link behaviour and simplified deployment. Compact QSFP28 connectors save port space and ease cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• Interconnects between switches and InfiniBand host channel adapters
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Short-reach low-latency links in enterprise networking environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Length: 3 metres
• Application: High-speed serial links for data centre and HPC environments
• Signal: Optical with integrated transceiver modules
• Latency: Designed for low-latency operation suitable for InfiniBand fabrics

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, adapters or servers until the connector latch engages. No separate transceivers or fibre termination are required. Verify link status through host or switch diagnostics after connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; follow standard data centre cabling practices when routing the cable between equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the manufacturer and avoid exposure to fluids or extreme temperatures. Use in environments that match the cable’s intended short-reach application within racks or between adjacent racks to ensure consistent low-latency performance.
