BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-EE-BO InfiniBand sklenené vlákno kábel 3 m konektor samec/konektor samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3‑metre active optical cable with QSFP form‑factor connectors on both ends. Designed for low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments, the cable provides a compact, direct connection between QSFP ports without separate transceivers. The male-to-male QSFP connectors enable straightforward plug-and-play installation and maintain signal integrity across a short-reach link.

Advantages

This 3 m InfiniBand AOC offers consistent high-speed data throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate hot-pluggable modules and reduce rack space usage. Its QSFP male connectors ensure secure mechanical engagement, while the active optical components support reliable signal conditioning for sustained performance in dense networking setups.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled network switches and routers in data centres
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Short-reach InfiniBand connections where QSFP ports are available
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links with reduced EMI

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 3 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)

How to use

Power down equipment only if required by the host system's hot-swap policy; in most modern systems QSFP AOC modules support hot-plug insertion. Align the QSFP male connector with the port guide on the host device and insert firmly until the connector latches. Verify link status and negotiated speed via the host system or network management interface. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the port. Avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress along the cable during installation and operation.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its specified ambient temperature and bend-radius limits, avoid routing through areas with high electromagnetic noise for best signal integrity, and store spare cables in a clean, dry environment. For optimal performance, verify compatibility with host QSFP ports and firmware, and monitor link status after installation.
