BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 5 m konektor samec-konektor samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 5m Male-Male is a 5‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for 40G data transmission over multimode fiber. The cable implements QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity that follows MSA standards and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to carry optical signals suitable for high-speed Ethernet, InfiniBand and similar protocols. This male-to-male configuration enables direct device-to-device connections in data centers and high-performance computing racks without additional transceivers.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides a pre-assembled optical link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential connector losses. Constructed to MSA QSFP form-factor conventions, the cable supports simultaneous send/receive optical channels and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capabilities for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive power and temperature when supported by the host hardware. The product is designed and tested for compatibility with major networking platforms that accept QSFP 40G AOCs.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it latches. Ensure host devices are powered and that the ports are configured for the desired 40G link protocol (Ethernet, InfiniBand or Fibre Channel over Ethernet) according to the device documentation. Verify link status and, if available, use the DDM/DOM interface to check voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature readings for commissioning and troubleshooting. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; route the cable within recommended bend radius limits for optical assemblies.

Recommendations

Confirm that the target hardware officially supports QSFP AOC modules and DDM/DOM functions for full feature access. For optimal reliability, handle QSFP connectors by the module body, keep connector interfaces free of contaminants, and maintain slack to prevent strain. Use this 5 m AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks where a direct QSFP-to-QSFP optical connection is required.
