BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-SO-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 1m QSFP28 conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-SO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable engineered for high-throughput, low-latency connections in data centres and high-performance computing clusters. Featuring QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed serial links typically used for 100GbE or InfiniBand HDR/EDR environments. Its single‑metre length and compact, lightweight construction simplify rack-to-rack and top-of-rack connections while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC provides stable, high-bandwidth transmission with low signal degradation over short to medium distances. The active optical design delivers improved power efficiency and lower thermal output versus equivalent copper cables. QSFP28 male connectors ensure broad compatibility with switches, adapters and host channel adapters designed for QSFP28 ports. The 1 m length offers flexibility for tidy cable management and minimal insertion loss in dense server and switch environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections requiring 100Gb or InfiniBand speeds
• Environments where low latency and high throughput are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported applications: 100GbE, InfiniBand HDR/EDR and similar high-speed serial links

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector into matching QSFP28 ports on network devices until the retention mechanism clicks. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot‑plug guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer if connecting under power. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. After connection, verify link status through the switch or host adapter management interface and test throughput to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks where high bandwidth and low latency are required. Keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress, secure it with cable ties or management panels, and avoid exceeding the specified bend radius to maintain signal integrity and longevity.
