Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-F5-BO 50 m QSFP28 macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-F5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male is a 50-metre active optical cable engineered for high-throughput, low-latency data transmission. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed interconnects commonly used in data centres and high-performance computing clusters. Its 50 m length enables flexible rack-to-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity for demanding network environments.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for HPC and storage networks. Active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper links. Pre-terminated QSFP28 connectors ensure straightforward installation and reduce the need for field termination. The 50 m reach provides greater layout flexibility for larger racks and longer interconnect spans without requiring intermediate repeaters.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Storage area networks (SANs) and backup systems
• Network aggregation and switch-to-switch links

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 50 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Signal characteristics: designed for high bandwidth and low latency
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand protocols before connecting. With equipment powered down or in accordance with your site hot-plug policy, insert the QSFP28 connectors into compatible ports until the latch engages. Verify link status using the host or switch management interface and confirm correct port negotiation and speed. If required, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it within the rack to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Handle the QSFP28 connectors by the housing and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Maintain bend radii appropriate for optical cables and protect the cable from excessive tension or compression. Follow data centre grounding and cable management practices to preserve signal reliability and prolong service life.
