Cable óptico activo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-LE-BO 10 m QSFP a QSFP

InfiniBand Active Optical Cable CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-LE-BO 10 m QSFP to QSFP is a 10-metre QSFP-to-QSFP active optical link engineered for high-performance data center and server interconnect environments. As an active optical cable, it integrates optical transceivers and fibre in a single assembly to provide reliable, low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity without the need for separate SFP/QSFP transceiver modules. The design reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and supports compact rack and switch deployments where long, clean links are required.

Advantages

The cable delivers high-speed data transmission with minimal latency and consistent signal integrity over its 10 metre length. Integration of the optical components into the cable simplifies installation and reduces the number of components to manage in a rack. As an optical link it is immune to electromagnetic interference, offers lower power draw at the system level compared with some active copper solutions, and helps maintain predictable performance in dense server and switch environments.

Suitable for

• Switch-to-switch uplinks in data centres
• Server-to-switch interconnects in high-performance computing clusters
• Storage network connections requiring high bandwidth and low latency
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling where compact QSFP links are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Cable type: Active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Length: 10 metres
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed optical link
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, high bandwidth optical transmission
• Immunity: Resistant to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling

How to use

Install the QSFP connectors into compatible QSFP ports on switches, servers or storage devices while the systems are powered according to your facilityʼs maintenance guidelines. The integrated active optical components are plug-and-play with equipment that supports QSFP optical links and InfiniBand signalling; ensure the host hardware and firmware support the cable type and link speed. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and protect the fibre from crushing or kinking to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturerʼs minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and verify compatibility with the intended QSFP ports and InfiniBand line rates before deployment.
