BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-NV-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 2 m QSFP28 conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-NV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-meter active optical cable designed for high-performance data transmission between QSFP28 ports. It provides a compact, low-latency link for switches, network adapters and high-performance computing nodes where InfiniBand connectivity and QSFP28 form-factor are required. The cable integrates optical transceivers and supports reliable, high-bandwidth connections in data centers and clustered compute environments.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable offers high data throughput with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its fixed 2 m length and male-to-male QSFP28 connectors simplify installation and maintain signal integrity over short cross-rack or intra-rack distances. The optical design ensures stable performance in dense cabling environments and helps maintain predictable latency for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Storage area networks and NVMe-over-Fabrics deployments
• Short reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand, suitable for QSFP28 interfaces
• Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on devices such as switches, network adapters or compute nodes. Ensure ports are powered down or follow your equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidelines if connecting live. Verify link status through device management interfaces after connection to confirm proper recognition and link speed. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain the cable within its specified bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force. Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where an optical link reduces interference and conserves port density. Confirm compatibility with your InfiniBand equipment and firmware versions prior to deployment.
