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

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-1M-MT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre active optical cable designed for high-speed server and switch interconnects. Equipped with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors, this cable supports reliable low-latency data transfer and is intended for use in dense data centre and high-performance computing environments where short-range, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high bandwidth over a short 1 m distance while maintaining low power consumption and stable signal integrity. The QSFP28 male connectors are compatible with corresponding QSFP28 ports to enable 100 Gb/s class links and reduce cable congestion in rack installations. Its optical construction minimizes electromagnetic interference and supports consistent performance under continuous load.

Suitable for

• Connection between QSFP28 ports on switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage interconnects
• Top-of-rack and spine network links in data centres
• Short-reach, high-bandwidth applications requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (InfiniBand compatible)
• Typical use: Short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects
• EMI immunity: Optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 male connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered and configured for the appropriate link speed and protocol. For initial setup, verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and strain on the connectors; secure with cable management clips if necessary.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 active optical cable for short, high-density links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and keep the optical connectors clean to maintain signal quality. Confirm QSFP28 port compatibility and supported link speeds on both devices before deployment.
