InfiniBand aktívny optický kábel CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-CH-BO 30 m

CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-CH-BO is a 30-meter InfiniBand active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectivity designed for high-speed links between switches, servers and storage. As an active optical solution, it delivers low-latency signal transmission, electrical isolation and stable performance over greater distances than copper cables, making it suitable for data centers, high-performance computing clusters and enterprise cabling backbones.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and provides consistent signal integrity over 30 meters while maintaining the high throughput and low latency characteristic of InfiniBand QSFP interconnects. Its QSFP form factor supports compact port density and hot-pluggable operation, enabling easy deployment and maintenance in high-density rack environments. Compared with passive copper assemblies, this AOC offers extended reach without transceiver modules at endpoints.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) connectivity and aggregation
• Backbone cabling in enterprise or colocation racks

Key specifications

• Length: 30 meters
• Connector type: QSFP at both ends
• Media type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Performance characteristics: low latency, high throughput suitable for InfiniBand fabrics
• Electrical isolation provided by optical transmission
• Form factor: hot-pluggable QSFP module-style connectors for high-density ports

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until the connector latches securely. Ensure the equipment is powered down if required by the device vendor’s hot-swap policy, though QSFP AOCs are typically hot-pluggable. Verify link status and fabric configuration in the host or switch management interface and apply any necessary firmware or driver settings for InfiniBand operation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in environments that require reliable, low-latency interconnects at distances beyond typical copper reach. Keep the cable free from sharp bends, avoid exposure to excessive heat, and check compatibility with the host ports and InfiniBand firmware versions. For high-density installations, plan cable routing to preserve airflow and service access to QSFP ports.
