AOC QSFP kábel BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M 1m konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M is a 1m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Designed for short-reach interconnects, this AOC provides a factory-terminated optical solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. The cable supports reliable, low-latency links suitable for data centers and high-performance computing systems where consistent throughput and simplified installation are required.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers high-bandwidth performance while reducing power consumption compared with traditional electrical copper interconnects. Its QSFP-to-QSFP form factor enables direct connection between compatible ports, simplifying rack and switch cabling. The pre-terminated optical design minimizes signal loss and removes the need for field termination, offering predictable optical performance and improved reliability in dense networking setups.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-speed connections between switches and servers in data centers
• Interconnects in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Top-of-rack and spine-leaf network architectures requiring QSFP ports
• Low-latency links for storage area networks (SAN) and virtualization hosts

Key specifications

• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors
• Length: 1 m
• Connector: QSFP male on both ends
• Transmission: High-speed optical data suitable for multi-lane QSFP interfaces
• Use case: Short-reach interconnects for data center and HPC environments
• Installation: Factory-terminated, plug-and-play

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment or servers, ensuring the connector latch engages. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation with no additional optical cleaning or termination required beyond standard port inspection. Verify compatibility with device port firmware and link settings before deployment. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and secure it with cable management to maintain airflow and accessibility in racks.

Recommendations

Inspect port interfaces for debris before insertion, avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable bend radius, and use proper cable management to prevent stress on the connectors. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and ensure firmware or driver requirements are met for optimal link establishment.
