BlueOptics AV1Q-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m QSFP28 Male-Male

The BlueOptics AV1Q-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m QSFP28 Male-Male is a high-speed optical link designed for data centre and enterprise networking environments. This 20-metre multimode fibre cable uses QSFP28 male connectors at both ends to support low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems. The cable is intended to provide consistent signal integrity and stable throughput for InfiniBand applications and other high-performance interconnects.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers a combination of length and connector compatibility tailored for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment links in dense server environments. The QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies direct connections between compatible ports without additional adapters. The 20 m length provides flexibility for routing within cabling trays and underfloor pathways while maintaining optical performance appropriate for short to medium reach InfiniBand links.

How to use

Install the blueoptics AV1Q-BO by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on network equipment and insert until the connector latches. Route the 20 m cable through cable management channels or underfloor conduits to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Verify link status on both connected devices and perform any required port configuration for InfiniBand or the relevant networking protocol.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid repeated flexing near connector ends, keep connectors clean and covered when not in use, and follow data centre best practices for cable routing and airflow. Confirm compatibility with QSFP28 ports on your equipment and validate optical performance after installation using suitable diagnostic tools.
