CBO InfiniBand aktívny optický kábel QSFP-AOC-10M-CO-BO 10 m QSFP+ na QSFP+

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-10M-CO-BO 10 m QSFP+ to QSFP+ is a 10-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects. The QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC delivers a low-latency, high-bandwidth optical link suitable for data centre topologies, high performance computing clusters and switch-to-switch connections. As an active optical solution, it replaces equivalent copper assemblies for short- to medium-reach connections while reducing electromagnetic interference and simplifying cable management.

Advantages

The active optical design provides improved signal integrity and lower insertion loss compared with passive copper over similar distances. The cable supports QSFP+ connectivity to preserve native port compatibility and maintains low latency for latency-sensitive applications. Its 10-metre length offers flexibility in rack and row deployments while reducing heat generation and electromagnetic interference in dense installations. The plug-and-play QSFP+ connectors require no additional transceivers, enabling straightforward installation and immediate link negotiation.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster fabric links
• Storage area network (SAN) backplane connections
• Server racks requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth short- to medium-reach links

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Length: 10 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Performance: low-latency, high-bandwidth optical link suitable for short- to medium-reach
• Interference: reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper

How to use

Insert each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on networking equipment or servers until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are compatible with QSFP+ host ports and that the devices are powered according to vendor guidelines. No external transceivers or additional modules are required; the cable negotiates link parameters with connected devices. Verify link status via host or switch management interfaces and observe any vendor-specific recommendations for firmware or port settings to ensure optimal performance.

Recommendations

Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow manufacturer bend-radius guidelines. Use in environments where short- to medium-reach optical connectivity is required and where reducing EMI and simplifying cabling are priorities. For critical deployments, confirm compatibility with host hardware and test link performance during commissioning.
