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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-LO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connectivity between QSFP ports. Intended for use in data centre and high-performance computing environments, the cable offers a compact, single-cable solution for short-reach interconnects where low latency and reliable signal integrity are required. Its QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends provide direct plug-and-play compatibility with QSFP ports that accept active optical cables.

Advantages

This 1 metre BlueOptics cable delivers high data throughput and low latency suitable for InfiniBand environments, while the active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The male-to-male QSFP connectors ensure straightforward installation and reliable mechanical connection to compatible transceivers or QSFP ports. The compact and lightweight construction simplifies cable management in dense rack installations and contributes to improved airflow and thermal management in server cabinets.

Suitable for

• Short-reach links between switches, servers and storage in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand interconnects
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth connections
• Racks and patch panels where compact, lightweight cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Supported interface: InfiniBand
• Form factor: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable)
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnect

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports that accept active optical cables. Power off or follow hot-plug guidelines of your equipment before connecting if recommended by the hardware vendor. Align the QSFP male connectors with the port receptacles and insert until the connector latches. Verify link lights or management software to confirm the connection is active. For removal, release the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging ports. Keep bends gentle and avoid kinking the cable to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable with gentle bend radii; avoid tight loops. Use this 1 m AOC for short direct links inside racks or between adjacent equipment. Confirm compatibility with your switch or host adapter documentation before deployment and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plug operations and firmware compatibility.
