BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-PT-BO Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών InfiniBand 1m Βύσμα QSFP28

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, short-reach connections in server rooms and data centers. Fitted with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand topologies and is intended for reliable data transmission between compatible network equipment. Its compact length and optical construction reduce electromagnetic interference and simplify cable management in dense rack environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high-bandwidth performance suitable for modern InfiniBand links while maintaining a small physical footprint. The QSFP28 connectors allow for straightforward plug-and-play installation, and the optical medium removes concerns about electrical interference and grounding that can affect copper alternatives. The fixed 1 m length helps maintain signal integrity for short-reach connections and contributes to neater cabling runs in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Direct links between InfiniBand-enabled switches, adapters, and servers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Short-reach connections inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Data centers and network rooms requiring low-interference cabling

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported interface: InfiniBand
• Suitable reach: short-reach, intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections
• Signal medium: optical fiber (reduces electromagnetic interference)

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and support InfiniBand operation. Align the QSFP28 male connector with the port and insert it gently until it seats securely; repeat on the other end. Verify link status through the host or switch management interface and monitor for established lanes and expected data rates. For removal, depress any retention mechanism on the connector and pull straight out without twisting to avoid damage to the port or cable assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its rated short-reach distance and avoid sharp bends or kinks to preserve optical performance. Route the cable to minimize stress on connectors and secure it with appropriate cable management to prevent accidental disconnection. Confirm firmware and driver compatibility for connected devices to ensure full InfiniBand functionality.
