Cable óptico QSFP CBO AOC Avago AFBR-7QER30Z 30 m

The CBO AOC QSFP optical cable Avago AFBR-7QER30Z 30 m is a pre-terminated active optical cable designed for QSFP interfaces. It provides a 30 meter high-speed optical link between compatible network devices, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and additional fiber patching. The cable is intended for use in data centers and telecommunication racks where a compact, low-latency QSFP connection is required and where a factory-terminated optical solution simplifies installation and serviceability.

Advantages

This AOC QSFP cable delivers a consistent optical connection over 30 m with reduced signal loss compared to long copper runs. Being pre-terminated and active, it reduces on-site termination errors and speeds up deployment. The integrated design minimizes rack space and cable management complexity, and the QSFP form factor ensures compatibility with QSFP ports on switches, servers, and optical equipment. The product's factory testing ensures plug-and-play operation and predictable electrical and optical performance.

Suitable for

• High-density data center interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections in top-of-rack and end-of-row configurations
• Telecommunication racks requiring reliable short-reach optical QSFP links
• Environments where reduced cabling complexity and fast deployment are priorities

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (pre-terminated active optical cable)
• Link length: 30 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Use case: Short-reach high-speed optical interconnect
• Form factor: Factory-terminated QSFP duplex cable assembly

How to use

Connect each QSFP plug to the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring secure seating and proper alignment. Verify that both ends are inserted into compatible QSFP slots and that device firmware or operating system recognizes the optical link. No field termination is required; after insertion, consult device management or link status indicators to confirm operational status. For hot-swap capable devices, the cable can be inserted and removed while equipment is powered, following the host device’s hot-plug guidelines.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fibers. Use appropriate cable management to prevent excessive tension or kinking. Verify compatibility with the QSFP ports on both ends for supported data rates and protocols before installation, and perform link tests after installation to confirm signal integrity.
