## Summary description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-RW-BO is a 3-meter InfiniBand fibre optic cable with QSFP28 connectors. It features male-to-male connectivity, ensuring high-speed data transmission for data centers and networking applications. This cable is designed for optimal performance and reliability in high-bandwidth environments.

## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-RW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m QSFP28 Male is a 3-metre active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between network equipment. It provides QSFP28 male-to-male connectivity and is intended for short-reach links in data centres, HPC clusters and storage networks where reliable 100Gbps-class InfiniBand links are required. The cable combines optical transmission with compact QSFP28 form-factor connectors to support dense rack deployments and reduce signal loss over short distances.
Advantages
This cable delivers high throughput and low latency suitable for InfiniBand infrastructures, using an active optical design to maintain signal integrity over three metres. Its QSFP28 male connectors enable straightforward plug-and-play installation in compatible QSFP28 ports. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives and lowers power consumption for equivalent link lengths in many deployments.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Connecting QSFP28 ports between switches, servers and adapters in data centres
High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
Storage area networks (SAN) and high-bandwidth SAN links
Short-reach InfiniBand links and direct server-to-switch connections
Key specifications
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
Standard: InfiniBand-compatible 100Gbps-class links
Length: 3 metres
Transmission medium: Multimode optical fiber with integrated transceivers
Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects
How to use
Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and that firmware or driver requirements for QSFP28/AOC modules are met. Align the QSFP28 male connectors with the device ports and insert until the latch engages; repeat for the other end. After connection, verify link status through device management interfaces and monitor for proper data rates and error counters. For removal, disengage the latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the connectors.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable within recommended bend radius limits and avoid excessive pulling or twisting. Keep optical connector interfaces clean and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use. Install in an environment with appropriate airflow and temperature control to maintain optical component reliability.
