Cable óptico activo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-SP-BO 30 m QSFP a QSFP

CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-SP-BO is a 30 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectors engineered for InfiniBand environments. The cable provides a single-cable optical link that replaces separate transceivers and fiber assemblies, enabling direct high-speed connectivity between compatible QSFP ports. Designed for data center and server cluster applications, this AOC targets low latency and high bandwidth while reducing power consumption and simplifying cabling infrastructure.

Advantages

The InfiniBand Active Optical Cable delivers long-reach optical performance over a 30 m length while maintaining signal integrity required by high-speed interconnects. By integrating optical transceivers into the cable assembly, it eliminates the need for external modules and duplex fiber patching, reducing rack space and installation complexity. The AOC design lowers power usage compared with discrete transceiver-plus-cable solutions and supports consistent latency and throughput for demanding workloads.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand QSFP ports
• Data center top-of-rack and server-to-server connections requiring 30 m reach
• Low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects for storage and compute nodes
• Environments where reduced power consumption and simplified cabling are priorities

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP optical assembly
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 meters
• Target application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Performance: designed for low latency and high bandwidth operation
• Power profile: lower system power compared with separate transceiver and copper assemblies

How to use

Install the CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-SP-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked. Ensure the host ports are compatible with QSFP AOC assemblies and that firmware or driver requirements for InfiniBand operation are met. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the active optical assembly does not require external transceivers or additional fiber patch panels. After connection, verify link status and performance using the system diagnostics or InfiniBand management tools.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bend radii and protect connectors from contamination. Use in environments within the specified operating temperature and humidity ranges of host equipment. Confirm QSFP port compatibility and supported data rates prior to deployment to ensure full bandwidth and low-latency operation.
