BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-SS-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 50m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-SS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects. It uses QSFP28 male connectors on both ends to provide a direct, low-latency link between compatible switches, servers and storage systems in data centre and high-performance computing installations. The cable supports high data throughput while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This 50m InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers high bandwidth and signal integrity for demanding environments. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies direct device-to-device connections without additional transceivers. Being an active optical cable, it offers lower power consumption and improved thermal behaviour versus comparable copper cables, along with immunity to electrical noise and longer effective reach for high-speed links.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Storage area networks and SAN uplinks
• Low-latency trading platforms and research networks

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your devices until they click into place. Use the 50m length to route between racks or across server rooms while avoiding tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor. Ensure attached devices support InfiniBand and QSFP28 AOC connections; after physical installation, verify link status and configure the network interfaces or fabric settings as required by your system.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid excessive pulling force, and keep the cable clear of sharp edges and high-heat sources. For reliable operation, follow your hardware vendor’s guidance on QSFP28 module compatibility and ensure firmware or driver updates are applied when required.
