Aktívny optický InfiniBand kábel CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-SP-BO — 10 m, QSFP+ na QSFP+

Active optical InfiniBand cable CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-SP-BO is a 10-meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between compatible QSFP ports. As an active optical cable, it integrates optical transceivers within the cable assembly to provide reliable data transmission without separate pluggable modules. The cable supports short- to mid-range links typical for data center topologies, HPC clusters and storage networks while reducing electromagnetic interference and cable clutter.

Advantages

This QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable offers simplified deployment by removing the need for separate transceivers, which reduces installation time and component count. Its optical design lowers susceptibility to electrical noise and enables stable high-speed links over 10 meters. The integrated connectors provide a compact, direct connection that conserves port space and helps maintain predictable signal integrity for InfiniBand and other QSFP-compatible interfaces.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster node links
• Storage arrays and SAN connectivity
• Top-of-rack (ToR) and leaf-spine network configurations

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 10 meters
• Interface compatibility: InfiniBand and QSFP-compatible 4x lane links
• Performance: designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission over short to mid distances
• Environmental: reduced electromagnetic interference compared with direct-attach copper

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP+ connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your equipment and insert until the connector latch engages. No separate transceivers are required; the integrated optical modules within the cable handle signal conversion and link training automatically when both ends are connected and the devices are powered. Verify link status through device management interfaces and ensure proper port configuration for InfiniBand or the supported QSFP protocol. Handle the cable by the connector bodies, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable where reliable short- to mid-range high-speed links are required. Choose AOC over copper direct-attach when electromagnetic interference or port density are concerns. Confirm QSFP compatibility and firmware support on connected devices to ensure full functionality.
