## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-GM-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 50-meter active optical cable fitted with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this cable supports modern server, switch and storage interconnects where low latency and high throughput are required. Its 50 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments while maintaining signal integrity over the optical link.
Advantages
This cable provides a high-bandwidth optical connection with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives, making it suitable for dense network deployments. The QSFP28 male/male configuration ensures direct compatibility with QSFP28 ports on switches, servers and NICs that support InfiniBand or similar high-speed protocols. The active optical design enables longer reach than passive copper DACs while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than many transceiver-based solutions.
Suitable for
 Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
 High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
 Interconnects between switches and aggregation devices
 Server to storage or server to server links requiring high throughput
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
 Length: 50 meters
 Supported interfaces: InfiniBand and compatible high-speed Ethernet/PCIe interconnects
 Transmission medium: Multimode/mode-appropriate optical fiber in AOC assembly
 Use case: Short-to-medium reach within data center racks and rows
How to use
Install the BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-GM-BO by inserting each QSFP28 male connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network device until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer if connecting to live systems. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the equipment or cable supplier. Verify link status and negotiated speeds through the host interfaces or management software once connected.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use this AOC within controlled data center environments, avoiding exposure to sharp bends, excessive tension, or contaminants. Confirm compatibility of QSFP28 ports with InfiniBand or the intended protocol and check device firmware and driver support for optimal performance.
