## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 3-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends and supports short-reach, low-latency, high-bandwidth links typically required in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The cable is intended for direct connection between compatible QSFP28 ports and offers a compact, flexible alternative to separate transceivers and fibre patch cords.
Advantages
This 3 m QSFP28 Active Optical Cable provides low latency and high bandwidth suitable for InfiniBand environments. The integrated optical transceivers reduce power and space compared with discrete modules plus patch cords. Its male-to-male QSFP28 configuration simplifies installation and reduces component count. The cable construction offers flexibility for rack and cabinet routing while maintaining signal integrity over the specified distance.
Suitable for
Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centres
High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand QSFP28 links
Storage arrays and compute nodes with QSFP28 ports
Top-of-rack and aggregation layer interconnects up to 3 metres
Key specifications
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Connector type: QSFP28 male on both ends
Length: 3 metres
Interface: InfiniBand high-speed link compatible with QSFP28 ports
Performance: Designed for low-latency, high-bandwidth short-reach connections
Construction: Flexible optical cable suitable for rack and cabinet installations
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by your hardware vendor if you connect live equipment. Verify link status on both endpoints after installation and check for proper lane mapping and speed negotiation in device interfaces. Avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable during routing to preserve optical performance.
Usage recommendations
Use this QSFP28 AOC for short-distance links where low latency and high throughput are required. Route the cable with gentle bends, maintain recommended minimum bend radius, and avoid compressive forces near the connectors. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's QSFP28 port specifications and firmware requirements before deployment.
