BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-BC-BO InfiniBand/optický kábel 1m konektor samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-BC-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1 meter active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data transmission. This QSFP-to-QSFP cable provides a compact, direct-attach solution for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and server-to-server interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The design emphasizes reliable signal integrity over a short-reach link while simplifying cabling infrastructure compared with multiple copper alternatives.

Advantages

This cable offers high-bandwidth connectivity with QSFP interfaces on both ends, ensuring a stable physical connection and consistent throughput. Being an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper assemblies, while enabling longer reach at full data rates within the specified 1 meter length. The plug-and-play construction supports straightforward installation and maintenance, and the ruggedized housing supports repeated insertions typical in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand interconnects between servers and switches
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Top-of-rack and spine connectivity in data centers
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Length: 1 meter
• Media: active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand and fibre-optic high-speed links
• Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth, low-latency connections

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP AOC connections and that devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the hardware vendor. Align the QSFP connector keyed interface with the device port and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status through the host device management interface or indicator LEDs. For removal, release the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port. Store the cable coiled without sharp bends and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by the hardware manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use this 1 meter AOC for short rack or unit-to-unit connections where consistent high throughput and low latency are required. Avoid routing near strong electromagnetic sources despite the optical media’s immunity, and maintain proper airflow around equipment to prevent thermal stress on connectors and transceivers.
