CBO InfiniBand aktívny optický kábel QSFP-AOC-10M-EE-BO, QSFP na QSFP, 10 m

CBO InfiniBand active optical cable QSFP-AOC-10M-EE-BO is a 10 m QSFP-to-QSFP link engineered for high-speed interconnects between servers, switches and storage systems. As an active optical cable it combines optical transceivers and a fiber medium in a single assembly, providing longer reach and electrical isolation compared with copper-based multimode alternatives. The cable is intended for environments that require reliable, low-latency links and extended distance within data centers and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers improved signal integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference while enabling a 10 metre reach suitable for rack-to-rack and row-to-row connections. Integrated optics reduce the need for separate transceiver inventory and simplify installation. Low power consumption and compact QSFP form-factor make the cable compatible with QSFP ports used in modern InfiniBand and Ethernet networking equipment. The design supports stable high data rates and helps maintain consistent latency over the full 10 m length.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in multi-rack deployments
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster connections requiring low latency
• Storage area network (SAN) links and backup infrastructure

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (QSFP-to-QSFP)
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Length: 10 metres
• Transmission: Designed for high-speed InfiniBand links; compatible with QSFP ports
• Electrical isolation: Optical medium provides galvanic isolation between endpoints
• Form factor: Compact QSFP housing for standard port compatibility

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP AOC connections and that device firmware or drivers do not block third-party optics if applicable. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending; respect the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer and avoid tight kinks. After connection, verify link status on the devices and monitor throughput and error counters to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable within the recommended 10 m distance and avoid exposure to mechanical stresses or extreme temperatures. Keep firmware of network devices up to date and check compatibility notes for QSFP AOC modules with your switches and host adapters. Store and handle connectors with dust caps when not in use to protect optical interfaces.
