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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-IX-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, built for high-bandwidth, short-range interconnects. It is intended for use in data centers, high-performance computing clusters and network racks where reliable, low-latency links are required. The design provides optical transmission over three meters while keeping power consumption and electromagnetic interference minimal.

Advantages

This cable supports high-speed InfiniBand signaling and provides stable data throughput with reduced signal loss compared to equivalent copper links. The QSFP male-to-male configuration simplifies direct connections between compatible transceivers and ports without additional adapters. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management in dense rack environments, and the optical medium eliminates susceptibility to electrical noise.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and InfiniBand host adapters within racks
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster node connections
• Short-reach data center links requiring low latency and high throughput
• Server-to-switch connections in networking racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 3 meters
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber
• Typical use range: Short-reach data center and rack-level connections

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP AOC connections and power down or follow hot-swap guidance from the equipment vendor if required. Align the QSFP connector keyed orientation with the port and insert until it seats firmly. Verify link status through device management interfaces; lights or software indicators will confirm a successful link. For removal, press the connector latch or release mechanism and withdraw straight out to avoid damage to the port or cable.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the connector manufacturer. Use proper strain relief and avoid excessive pulling force. Keep the connector end caps on until installation to protect optical interfaces and inspect connectors for contamination before connecting. For long-term reliability in rack environments, secure excess cable length with ties or management panels and periodically check connections for cleanliness and proper seating.
