BlueOptics AV1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics AV1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 5-metre high-speed optical interconnect designed for data center and enterprise networking applications. Equipped with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-bandwidth links and is intended for short-reach connections between switches, servers and network appliances that use InfiniBand or compatible fibre channel interfaces. Its 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack cabling where low-latency, reliable optical transmission is required.

Advantages

This cable offers high data throughput and low latency suitable for modern high-performance computing and storage networks. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation without adapters. Constructed for consistent optical performance, the cable minimizes signal loss over the specified 5 m span and supports the stable operation of InfiniBand and compatible fibre optic systems.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices and gently inserting until the connector seats. Avoid excessive bending near the connector interfaces; maintain recommended bend radius for fibre optic cables to preserve signal integrity. When removing the cable, press any release mechanism on the port housing (if present) and pull the connector straight out. Use appropriate electrostatic discharge precautions when handling connectors in sensitive equipment racks.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid tight bends and physical strain, keep connectors free of dust and debris, and verify compatibility of QSFP28 ports with InfiniBand or the intended protocol. Regularly inspect connectors and replace the cable if physical damage or significant signal degradation is observed.
