BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-HU-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 2 m konektor/konektor

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for 40G multi-mode links. Built to MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor specifications, it integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end to carry optical signals for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 40 Gbps over short-reach multi-mode fiber. The pre-assembled active cable simplifies connectivity in data centers and networking racks by eliminating separate transceivers and patch cords while reducing insertion loss and electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable provides plug-and-play connectivity with QSFP interfaces and supports high-bandwidth, low-latency links suitable for top-of-rack and aggregation layer interconnects. As an active optical cable, it removes the need for field-terminated fiber assemblies and reduces signal attenuation compared with multi-segment patching. Built with industry-grade lasers and integrated circuits, the product is manufactured to deliver consistent electrical-to-optical performance and long operational lifetime when used in compatible hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• 40G QSFP-to-QSFP connections between switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in InfiniBand and Ethernet deployments
• High-performance storage networks and SAN interconnects requiring low latency
• Short-reach multi-mode fiber links in rack environments (2 m)

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Data rate support: up to 40 Gbps
• Physical medium: active optical cable with multi-mode fiber
• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) compatible
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) per MSA SFF-8472 where supported by host hardware
• Designed for short-range (SR) 40GBASE-SR4 optical applications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-HU-BO by inserting each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices. Ensure both devices support QSFP 40G links and any required host software or firmware settings for AOC modules. After insertion, verify link status through your switch or server management interface; if DDM/DOM is supported by the host, use available monitoring tools to check supply voltage, laser bias, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Remove the cable by depressing the connector latch and pulling straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use the cable in rack and short-reach environments where 2 m length is appropriate. Keep connectors clean and avoid sharp bends to preserve optical performance. Confirm hardware compatibility and host support for QSFP AOC modules and DDM/DOM functions before deployment. For troubleshooting, use the host diagnostics and replace the AOC if sustained optical parameter deviations are observed.
