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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-2M-MR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2‑metre active optical cable engineered for high‑speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. It provides a direct, low-latency link for server, switch and storage interconnects in rack and data centre environments. The cable is terminated with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends to ensure straightforward insertion into compatible ports and reliable electrical-to-optical signal conversion within the cable assembly.

Advantages

This 2m InfiniBand cable offers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding networking tasks. The integrated active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and allows longer reach than equivalent copper direct attach cables. QSFP28 male connectors provide broad compatibility with QSFP28 ports and simplify deployment in dense rack topologies. The cable is lightweight and flexible, which eases routing in constrained spaces while maintaining consistent signal integrity.

Suitable for

• High-performance server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections
• Storage area networking and SAN fabric links
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row data centre interconnects
• Low-latency computing clusters and HPC applications

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Interface standard: InfiniBand / 100 Gigabit-class QSFP28
• Transmission characteristics: high bandwidth, low latency
• Construction: lightweight, flexible optical assembly

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by your hardware. Align the QSFP28 male connector with the receptacle and insert it gently until it clicks into place. Confirm link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, disengage any latch or handle and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and route it to prevent sharp kinks.

Recommendations

Install the cable in a way that keeps slack managed and prevents tight bends; maintain adequate airflow in racks and do not place heavy objects on the cable. Use this QSFP28 AOC for short to medium reach interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks to take advantage of the low latency and high throughput characteristics.
