Cable de fibra óptica/InfiniBand BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-CO-BO 2m QSFP28 macho/macho

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-CO-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects between network devices and compute nodes. It integrates QSFP28 male connectors on both ends and supports the bandwidth demands of modern data centre and high-performance computing environments, providing low-latency, high-throughput links for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, or node-to-node connections.

Advantages

This cable delivers high data throughput and signal integrity over a 2 m active optical link, reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its QSFP28 male terminations enable straightforward insertion into compatible QSFP28 ports, while the optical design lowers power dissipation and supports reliable performance in dense rack deployments. The product is compact and flexible enough for structured cabling in data centre racks and server rooms.

Suitable for

• Interconnects in high-performance computing clusters
• Connections between QSFP28 ports on switches and network adapters
• Low-latency links in data centres and server rooms
• Short-reach optical links requiring 2 m cabling length

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 metres
• Supported interface: InfiniBand / fibre optic high-speed interconnect
• Use case: short-reach, high-bandwidth links
• Signal characteristics: optical transmission with reduced EMI compared to copper

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and that firmware or driver requirements for QSFP28/AOC modules are met. Align the QSFP28 male connectors with the port openings and insert gently until the connector latches. For removal, release any locking mechanism on the port and pull the connector straight out. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for optical active cables to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in a clean environment, avoid exposing the fiber ends to dust, and handle connectors by the housing rather than the fiber. Periodically inspect connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools when required. Use this 2 m QSFP28 AOC where optical performance and reduced electromagnetic interference are priorities.
