## Summary description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-IA-BO is a 50-meter InfiniBand fibre optic cable featuring QSFP28 male connectors. It provides high-speed data transmission and is ideal for data centers and high-performance computing environments. This cable ensures reliable connectivity and optimal performance for demanding applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP28 Male is a 50-metre active optical cable designed for high-throughput connections in data centres and high-performance computing environments. It uses QSFP28 male connectors to support InfiniBand protocols and offers a single-cable solution for low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems. The cable's construction is intended to provide consistent signal integrity over a 50 m span while reducing the need for additional transceivers and copper interconnects.
Advantages
The cable delivers high data rates and low latency suitable for InfiniBand networks while keeping power consumption lower than equivalent copper solutions. Its active optical design enables long-reach connectivity without signal degradation over 50 metres and reduces electromagnetic interference. QSFP28 male connectors simplify direct connections to compatible ports and support compact, high-density cabling layouts in rack environments.
Suitable for
 Interconnects between high-performance servers and InfiniBand switches
 Rack-to-rack links in data centre topologies
 Connections for storage arrays requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency links
 Short to medium reach links in HPC clusters and virtualised compute environments
Key specifications
 Length: 50 metres
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Technology: Active optical cable (AOC)
 Protocol support: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed links
 Typical application: Data centre interconnects, HPC and storage networking
 Physical: Lightweight, flexible fibre assembly suitable for cable management in racks
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by inserting each QSFP28 male connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on devices such as switches, servers or storage controllers. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer if supported. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. After connection, verify link status via device management interfaces and confirm negotiated speeds and link health.
Usage recommendations
Handle the cable by the connector housings when inserting or removing; avoid pulling on the fibre assembly. Maintain bend radius and secure excess length to prevent strain. Use this 50 m active optical cable where reduced latency, reduced electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption compared with copper options are required. Check compatibility with device firmware and QSFP28 port specifications before deployment.
