BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 50 m QSFP konektor samec

The BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m QSFP Male is a 50‑metre active optical cable engineered for high‑speed interconnects in data centres and professional networking environments. It uses QSFP male terminations to provide a compact, hot‑pluggable connection suitable for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server or server-to-server links where low latency and high throughput are required. The cable is intended to maintain signal integrity over longer distances than copper alternatives while offering simplified installation and reduced electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers high bandwidth and consistent performance across a 50 m reach, reducing the need for intermediate transceivers. The QSFP male connectors enable straightforward mating with compatible QSFP ports, while the active optical design minimizes power loss and supports stable transmission over longer runs. The cable’s construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and offers a lower weight and smaller bend radius compared with equivalent copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• High‑performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Data centre top‑of‑rack and spine connectivity
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and server-to-server links
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput links over distances up to 50 metres

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends for direct QSFP port connections
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) designed for InfiniBand applications
• Length: 50 metres
• Performance: Designed for high bandwidth, low latency data transmission suitable for data centre networking
• Physical characteristics: Lightweight optical construction with reduced bend radius compared to copper cables
• Interference: Immune to electromagnetic interference typical of optical links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by aligning each QSFP male connector with the corresponding QSFP slot on your networking equipment and gently inserting until the connector latches. The cable supports hot‑plug operations; however, verify device compatibility and link settings in your switch or host adapters before moving production traffic. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, ensuring adequate airflow and rack management. For best results, check transceiver and port status indicators and any firmware requirements of your equipment.

Recommendations

Use this 50 m QSFP AOC within data centre environments and structured cabling runs where active optical links are supported. Avoid tight bending beyond the recommended bend radius, prevent exposure to physical abrasion, and verify compatibility with InfiniBand or QSFP-capable ports on your switches or host channel adapters to ensure reliable operation.
