BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-AT-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 10 m konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-AT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for 40G data links in data centers and high-performance network environments. The cable integrates transceivers at both ends and uses multimode fiber to support 40GBASE-SR4 transmission over the 10 m length. It follows QSFP MSA standards to ensure electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability with equipment that supports compatible QSFP AOCs.

Advantages

This AOC provides a factory-assembled QSFP connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion points and potential signal loss. The cable supports high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 40 Gbps and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible with SFF-8472 for remote measurement of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature. Components are selected to meet MSA standards for consistent performance and long operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections within 10 m
• Storage network links using Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Low-latency cluster or HPC InfiniBand connections requiring 40 Gbps links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbps (40GBASE-SR4)
• Fiber type: multimode
• Length: 10 metres
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM (per SFF-8472) for real-time monitoring
• Compliance: QSFP MSA compatible

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-AT-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the QSFP ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the cable latches properly. Verify that both devices support QSFP AOC modules and, if required, enable or confirm support for DDM/DOM in the host hardware or network management system to access diagnostic values. No separate SFP/QSFP transceiver modules or patch cords are required; the cable is pre-terminated and ready for plug-and-play operation.

Recommendations

Place the cable along gentle bends respecting the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs, avoid tight kinks and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain on the QSFP connectors. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage platform before deployment and, when possible, test a sample link in the intended hardware to verify full functionality and DDM telemetry.
