## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-IB-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m QSFP28 Male is a 3-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, short-range interconnects in data center and high-performance computing environments. Both ends terminate in QSFP28 male connectors, offering a compact direct-attach solution for linking switches, servers and storage equipment. The cable supports InfiniBand signaling and is intended to deliver the high bandwidth and low latency required by cluster computing, storage fabrics and aggregation topologies.
Advantages
This 3 m QSFP28 AOC provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining the throughput characteristics of optical transmission. Its integrated optical transceivers simplify deployment by eliminating separate transceiver modules, reducing component count and physical footprint. The cable’s QSFP28 form factor supports multi-lane high-speed links and is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP28 direct-attach optical connections. The solution is lightweight and flexible for clean cable management in dense rack environments.
Suitable for
 High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
 Data centre switch-to-server or switch-to-switch links within the same rack or adjacent racks
 Storage area network connections and NVMe-over-Fabrics links
 Top-of-rack aggregation and spine-leaf architectures with InfiniBand support
Key specifications
 Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
 Length: 3 metres
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Supported protocol: InfiniBand (high-speed serial lanes)
 Typical use: Short-range high-bandwidth interconnects in data centre environments
 Physical properties: Lightweight, flexible optical assembly suitable for dense cabling
How to use
Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switch, server or storage device and insert until the latch engages. Ensure equipment is powered down or follows manufacturer hot-plug guidance if applicable. Verify link status through your device management interface or LEDs after connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. If replacing an existing link, confirm compatible port types and supported protocols before swapping.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use this BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC within rack or adjacent-rack distances specified for short-range optical interconnects. Avoid tight bends, excessive torsion and prolonged exposure to mechanical stress. Confirm firmware and port compatibility on networking equipment to ensure full lane utilization and expected data rates.
