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

CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-CN-BO is a 10-meter active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data center and high-performance computing (HPC) interconnects, this QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC provides optical transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with equivalent copper links. The 10 m reach makes the cable suitable for connecting devices across racks, within pods or between adjacent cabinets while maintaining signal integrity and bandwidth consistency.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high-bandwidth optical links with reduced power consumption relative to some longer-range optical solutions, while preserving the compact QSFP+ form factor. The optical medium eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable low-latency communications for InfiniBand fabrics. Being a pre-terminated QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable, it simplifies deployment by removing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching for the supported 10 m span.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and directors within the same row of racks
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections in HPC clusters
• Pod and cabinet-level links where a 10 m optical reach is required
• Low-latency fabrics and latency-sensitive compute or storage workloads

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 10 meters
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber with integrated active components
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for HPC fabrics
• Electromagnetic performance: Immune to EMI compared with copper alternatives

How to use

Install the QSFP-AOC-10M-CN-BO by inserting each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ ports on your switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidance from your hardware vendor if supported. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces after insertion. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required; the cable presents as a direct QSFP+ link. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended bend radius and route the cable to prevent tight kinks or strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain proper cable routing and secure connectors in the QSFP+ cages. Confirm compatibility with your InfiniBand switch or HCA firmware and check link speeds in device management tools. Store and handle the cable by its connector housings, and follow rack airflow and cable management best practices to preserve optical performance and prevent mechanical stress.
