BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-CI-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 30m conector QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-CI-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-meter active optical cable designed for high-throughput, low-latency links in data center and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed InfiniBand interconnects while maintaining signal integrity over a long reach. The cable’s design focuses on reliable data transmission and straightforward installation between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This 30 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable combines the performance benefits of optical transmission with the convenience of an integrated active optical assembly. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reduces electrical interference, and supports sustained high data rates suitable for demanding applications. The QSFP28 male connectors provide a standardized interface that ensures compatibility with equipment using QSFP28 ports, while the cable length allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections without intermediate patching.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports in data center switches and servers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Rack-to-rack or row-to-row optical links where 30 m reach is required
• Applications requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible, QSFP28 form factor
• Typical use: High-speed, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your equipment and insert until the connector latches or seats securely. Ensure both ends are fully seated and avoid excessive bending of the optical cable; follow recommended minimum bend radii. The cable is plug-and-play with systems that support QSFP28 AOC connections; verify firmware or driver compatibility on network devices if required. When disconnecting, unlock any retention mechanism before pulling the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Store and operate the cable within manufacturer-specified temperature and humidity ranges, avoid sharp bends and crushing forces, and keep connector end-faces free of dust or contamination. Use dust caps when the cable is not connected. For optimal performance in critical systems, verify link status and error counters after installation and periodically inspect connectors for cleanliness.
