BlueOptics CBL-0310-020-BO InfiniBand/optický kábel 20 m QSFP

The BlueOptics CBL-0310-020-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m QSFP is a 20‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP male connectors designed for high‑speed links in data center and enterprise networking environments. It supports multimode optical transmission and is compatible with 40GBASE‑SR4 applications, providing a direct QSFP to QSFP connection that integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end for optical signal transfer over 20 m.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC delivers low‑latency, high‑bandwidth connectivity suitable for server‑to‑switch, switch‑to‑switch and storage interconnects where a compact QSFP solution is required. The integrated transceiver design removes the need for separate pluggable modules and shortens deployment time while maintaining standard MSA QSFP form factor compatibility. The cable offers stable performance for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET traffic up to 40 Gbit/s over the specified 20 m length.

How to use

Verify that both networking devices have QSFP ports that support 40GBASE‑SR4 or compatible QSFP AOC connections. With devices powered down or in accordance with the vendor’s hot‑plug guidance, insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats securely. Configure the connected interfaces on your switches or servers as required by your network setup, enable appropriate link speeds and verify link status through device management. Use diagnostic and monitoring tools to confirm signal integrity and throughput after installation.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre cable by the connector housing and avoid tight bends that exceed manufacturer bend radius recommendations. Use the BlueOptics 20 m QSFP AOC in controlled data‑centre environments and follow equipment vendor compatibility lists when deploying in critical production systems.
