## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-3M-VA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3-meter active optical cable fitted with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable supports low-latency links commonly required in data centres, high-performance computing clusters and storage networks. The single, factory-terminated assembly reduces the need for separate transceivers and simplifies rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch interconnects.
Advantages
This QSFP28 AOC delivers high bandwidth with reduced signal loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The integrated optical transceivers and fixed-length design ensure consistent performance over its 3 m reach, enabling predictable link behaviour and simplified deployment. Compact QSFP28 connectors save port space and ease cable management in dense installations.
Suitable for
 Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
 Interconnects between switches and InfiniBand host channel adapters
 High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
 Short-reach low-latency links in enterprise networking environments
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
 Length: 3 metres
 Application: High-speed serial links for data centre and HPC environments
 Signal: Optical with integrated transceiver modules
 Latency: Designed for low-latency operation suitable for InfiniBand fabrics
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, adapters or servers until the connector latch engages. No separate transceivers or fibre termination are required. Verify link status through host or switch diagnostics after connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; follow standard data centre cabling practices when routing the cable between equipment.
Usage recommendations
Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the manufacturer and avoid exposure to fluids or extreme temperatures. Use in environments that match the cable’s intended short-reach application within racks or between adjacent racks to ensure consistent low-latency performance.
