Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-LE-BO 1m QSFP28 conector/conector

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-LE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, low-latency connections between compatible QSFP28 ports. Built for data center and enterprise networking environments, this cable supports high-bandwidth links used in high-performance computing, storage arrays and server interconnects. The male-to-male QSFP28 configuration ensures direct connections without additional transceivers and simplifies rack-level cabling in densely populated switch and server setups.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers consistent high data throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference due to its optical transmission. Its 1 m length provides a compact, tidy connection suitable for top-of-rack and shorter patching needs. The QSFP28 male connectors at both ends offer straightforward plug-and-play installation with compatible ports, while the cable's active optical design maintains signal integrity over the link and reduces power requirements at the host compared with some copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports on switches and servers within racks
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage area networks and SAN front-end links
• Short distance, high-bandwidth patching in data centers

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Interface: InfiniBand / 100 Gigabit-class QSFP28-compatible links
• Transmission medium: Optical fibre
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth connections

How to use

Select compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, verify that both ports support active optical cable connections, and align the QSFP28 connectors with the port receptacles. Insert each end until the connector latches engage. Ensure devices are powered and configured for the target link speed and protocol. To remove, depress the connector latch and withdraw the cable while supporting the connector housing to avoid strain on the port.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for the optical cable. Keep the connector end caps in place when the cable is not connected to protect the optical interfaces. Verify firmware and driver compatibility on connected equipment to ensure optimal link establishment and monitor link status after installation.
