CBO InfiniBand aktívny optický kábel QSFP-AOC-2M-SS-BO — QSFP na QSFP, 2 m

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-SS-BO is a 2-meter QSFP-to-QSFP assembly engineered for high-speed InfiniBand links between servers, switches and storage systems. The integrated active optical transceivers reduce power draw compared with discrete modules and copper cabling at similar data rates, while providing consistent signal integrity for short-reach data center interconnects. The cable supports compact rack routing and helps simplify top-of-rack and middle-of-row deployments where reliable low-latency connectivity is required.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers stable high-bandwidth transmission with low insertion loss and minimal electromagnetic interference, enabling dependable performance in dense rack environments. The fixed QSFP-to-QSFP form factor eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. Its 2 m length provides a balance between flexibility and tidy cable management in typical server and switch layouts.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand connections in data center racks
• Direct QSFP port-to-port links between switches and servers
• High-performance storage and compute node interconnects
• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling where a 2 m reach is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP-to-QSFP active optical assembly
• Length: 2 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Compatibility: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed links for server, switch and storage interconnects
• Latency: low inherent latency suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power: low power consumption compared with equivalent discrete transceiver solutions

How to use

Inspect both QSFP ports on the devices to ensure they are clean and free of debris before insertion. Align the QSFP module ends with the device ports and insert until the latch engages, then verify link status on the connected equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to rack infrastructure to prevent strain on the connectors. For removal, disengage the latch and pull the assembly straight out to avoid damage to the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m active optical cable for short-distance InfiniBand links where predictable high bandwidth and low latency are required. Maintain standard data center handling practices: keep connectors clean, avoid bending below the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius, and secure cables to prevent mechanical stress.
