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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-30M-SO-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30m QSFP28 Male is a 30-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and networking environments. It provides a direct QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection for server, switch and storage hardware that supports InfiniBand or high-bandwidth Ethernet links. The cable is built to maintain signal integrity over the full 30 m length while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper assemblies.

Advantages

This QSFP28 active optical cable supports multi-lane high-speed data transmission with low latency and consistent throughput across long rack-to-rack distances. Its optical construction offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and a smaller weight compared with copper cables of similar performance. The factory-terminated QSFP28 male connectors ensure plug-and-play installation and eliminate the need for separate transceivers, simplifying inventory and deployment.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centres requiring 100 Gbps and InfiniBand connectivity
• High-performance computing clusters and storage-area networks
• Network switch uplinks and server interconnects over medium distances

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 30 metres
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and high-bandwidth Ethernet (multi-lane)
• Performance characteristics: Designed for low latency and high throughput over medium rack-to-rack distances
• Physical attributes: Lightweight optical construction with factory-terminated connectors

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on networking equipment and inserting until the connector latches. Verify link status and configure port settings in the connected devices according to the vendor documentation for InfiniBand or Ethernet links. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling during installation and route the cable through appropriate cable management pathways to maintain bend radius and airflow in racks.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for medium-distance, high-bandwidth links where reduced weight and immunity to EMI are required. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius, avoid exposure to mechanical stress, and verify compatibility with your hardware’s QSFP28 ports and firmware for optimal operation.
