InfiniBand/sklenené vlákno kábel BlueOptics 740-065052-BO 5 m QSFP aqua

The BlueOptics 740-065052-BO is a 5 m active InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors, designed for high-speed short-range links in data centers and networking environments. The cable uses multi-mode fiber and follows MSA QSFP electrical and optical interface conventions, providing a plug-and-play connection with aqua colour coding for easy identification and cable management.

Advantages

This 5 m BlueOptics active optical cable supports 40G-class transmission over a QSFP to QSFP connection and integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to handle optical signals without the need for separate transceivers. The pre-assembled design reduces the need for patching and cleaning of separate connectors, lowers insertion loss compared with field-terminated assemblies, and minimises electromagnetic interference common to copper solutions. The aqua colour helps rapid visual organisation in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between QSFP ports on switches and routers
• Short-range server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects that accept QSFP AOCs

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (QSFP-to-QSFP, male/male)
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with multi-mode optical fibre
• Colour coding: Aqua
• Supported link class: 40G-class short-reach optical transmission
• Integrated transmitter and receiver modules at both ends for optical signalling

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 5 m QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until the latch engages. No separate transceivers are required. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidance from your hardware vendor where applicable. Verify that the connected devices support QSFP AOC operation and the intended 40G optical protocol before enabling the link. If your equipment supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and check diagnostics through the device management interface to monitor link status, power and temperature.

Recommendations

Keep the cable bends within the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for multi-mode AOC assemblies, avoid tight kinks, and route the aqua cable separately or labelled to maintain organised, easily serviceable paths in dense racks and patch panels. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOCs and DDM/DOM support when planning deployments.
