## Long description

The BlueOptics Q28-AOC-50M-IX-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable QSFP28 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections. It uses QSFP28 connectors in a male-to-male configuration to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable is intended for short- to medium-reach interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks where reliable, high-throughput transmission is required.
Advantages
This QSFP28 fibre optic cable delivers high data throughput with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The 50 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-aisle connections without additional transceivers, simplifying installation. Its QSFP28 connectors are compatible with equipment supporting InfiniBand and QSFP28 interfaces, enabling straightforward integration into existing networking infrastructure. As an active optical cable, it maintains signal integrity over the specified distance while keeping power consumption and heat generation low.
Suitable for
 Interconnecting switches, servers and storage in data centres
 High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand links
 Rack-to-rack or intra-aisle connections up to 50 metres
 Environments where low latency and high bandwidth are required
Key specifications
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
 Supported interface: InfiniBand (QSFP28 form factor)
 Length: 50 metres
 Typical use: Short- to medium-reach data centre interconnects
 Signal characteristics: High bandwidth, low latency optical transmission
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices, ensuring connectors are fully seated and any retention mechanisms are engaged. Route the cable within cable management channels or racks to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer. No separate transceivers are required when using this active optical cable; power for the optical components is provided through the QSFP28 interfaces. Verify link status and configuration on connected equipment after installation.
Usage recommendations
Handle the cable by the connector bodies when plugging or unplugging, avoid touching ferrules, and store coiled loosely without tight loops. Use appropriate cable management to prevent kinks and maintain airflow in racks. Confirm compatibility with your hardware's QSFP28 ports and InfiniBand settings before deployment, and update firmware or driver settings as needed to ensure optimal performance.
