BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-CI-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-CI-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed short-reach interconnects. It uses QSFP28 male connectors on both ends to deliver reliable, low-latency data transmission suitable for dense networking environments and high-performance computing links. The cable supports InfiniBand signaling and is intended for direct attachment between QSFP28 ports without additional transceivers.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP28 active optical cable offers a compact and flexible connection with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. Its optical design enables stable high-throughput links with low power consumption and consistent signal quality over the specified 1-metre distance. The cable's QSFP28 male-to-male configuration simplifies installation in rack-mounted switches, servers, and storage equipment that accept QSFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and GPU interconnects
• Data centre top-of-rack and spine connections
• Low-latency server-to-server links
• Storage area networks requiring InfiniBand connectivity

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre (active optical cable)
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible signaling
• Medium: multimode/active optical cable for short-reach links
• Typical use: direct-attach short-range high-speed links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on network equipment and inserting until the connector latch engages. Ensure both ends are connected to powered equipment configured for InfiniBand operation. No additional transceivers are required; the cable integrates optical transceivers internally. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer bend-radius guidelines and route it to prevent mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 AOC for short, direct connections where low latency and high throughput are required. Confirm compatibility with device QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand settings before deployment, and handle connectors by the housing to maintain optical performance.
