BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-UQ-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 7m konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-UQ-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7-metre active optical cable equipped with QSFP male connectors on both ends, designed for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects. It delivers high-speed data transmission for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, and other rack-level connections in data centers and enterprise networks, with reduced electrical interference compared to copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides low latency and high throughput suitable for InfiniBand environments, while its QSFP male-to-male configuration enables direct connectivity between compatible QSFP ports without additional transceivers. The 7 m length offers flexibility for rack and cabinet layouts, and the optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and heat generation. The cable is factory-terminated for plug-and-play use and designed to maintain signal integrity over multi-gigabit links.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand fabrics
• Rack-level interconnects where QSFP ports are available
• Environments requiring low latency and minimal signal degradation

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 7 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Immunity: Lower electromagnetic interference compared to copper
• Latency: Designed for low-latency data transmission

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring that the connectors are aligned and fully seated. No external transceivers or additional configuration are required for standard InfiniBand ports that support QSFP AOC connections. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

The cable should be handled by the connector housing and not pulled by the fiber jacket. Maintain bend radius recommendations and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical stress to ensure reliable long-term operation.
