CBO InfiniBand aktívny optický kábel QSFP-AOC-2M-MA-BO 2 m QSFP+ na QSFP+

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-MA-BO is a 2 m QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical link engineered for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects in data center environments. The cable uses active optical transceivers integrated into the QSFP+ connectors to provide low-latency, high-throughput links between servers, switches and other networking equipment while delivering electrical isolation and reduced signal attenuation compared with equivalent copper assemblies.

Advantages

The active optical construction offers stable signal integrity across a 2 meter distance with minimal insertion loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Integrated QSFP+ transceivers eliminate the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing occupied switch port space. The cable supports high data rates typical for InfiniBand QSFP+ connectivity, enabling reliable low-latency performance in dense rack deployments while maintaining lower power dissipation and lighter physical weight compared with direct-attach copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch high-speed interconnects in data centers
• Switch-to-switch short-reach links within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency InfiniBand connectivity
• Network appliance connections where electrical isolation and reduced EMI are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Length: 2 meters
• Media: active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported interface: InfiniBand (QSFP+ form factor)
• Performance characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth suitable for short-reach links
• Physical attributes: integrated optical transceivers, lightweight flexible jacket

How to use

Insert each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on networking equipment until the latch engages. The integrated transceivers are hot-pluggable and require no separate configuration for physical link establishment beyond standard port settings on switches or host adapters. Verify link negotiation and signal status through device management interfaces after connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius stated by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-throughput links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Ensure ports used support QSFP+ InfiniBand signaling and verify firmware and driver compatibility on host adapters and switches. Route the cable to prevent strain on connectors and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical stress to preserve signal quality and service life.
