BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-BC-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 30m QSFP28 conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-BC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 30-meter active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high-performance computing environments. This cable supports InfiniBand interconnects and provides a stable, low-latency link for short- to mid-range top-of-rack and server-to-switch connections. Its plug-and-play form factor simplifies installation and integration into existing network infrastructure without requiring additional transceivers.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding computing tasks, while the QSFP28 male-to-male configuration ensures compatibility with QSFP28 ports on switches and host adapters. The 30 m length provides flexibility in equipment placement and cable management in racks and server rooms. As an optical solution, it reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper assemblies, contributing to cleaner signal integrity and easier cooling management.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and host channel adapters in data centers
• Server-to-top-of-rack and server-to-switch connections in HPC clusters
• Low-latency fabrics and storage area networks using InfiniBand protocols
• Environments requiring long-reach, high-density cabling with minimal electrical interference

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 meters
• Performance: designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission
• Compatibility: intended for QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand-enabled equipment
• Physical: lightweight optical construction for flexible routing in racks

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port and gently inserting until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that cables are routed to avoid excessive bending or tension; follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for minimum bend radius. No additional transceivers or configuration should be required for basic connectivity, though firmware and driver compatibility for connected devices should be verified for optimal performance.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the fibre jacket. Maintain recommended bend radii and avoid kinking. Use proper airflow and cable management in racks to preserve signal performance and equipment cooling. Verify InfiniBand link settings and driver support on connected devices to ensure full bandwidth and low-latency operation.
