BlueOptics CBL-QSFP+AOC-2M-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 2m conector macho/macho

The BlueOptics CBL-QSFP+AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. Built to follow common MSA-compatible QSFP standards, the cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers on both ends and uses multi-mode fibre to carry signals. It supports 40 Gbit/s link rates in short-reach applications and is suitable for direct QSFP port interconnects between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and host adapters.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, lightweight alternative to copper or transceiver-plus-patch-cord assemblies, reducing rack congestion and simplifying connections between QSFP ports. Integration of optical transceivers in the cable ends eliminates the need for separate modules, while the 2 m length offers a practical balance between reach and signal integrity for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack links. Compatibility with devices that accept QSFP AOC assemblies ensures predictable performance for 40G applications.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into a matching QSFP port on the network devices until it seats securely. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP ports and that devices are configured for the intended 40G or InfiniBand link protocol. Handle the cable by the connector housings and route it to avoid sharp bends; follow the minimum bend radius guidelines of multi-mode optical cables. Power down is not required for hot-pluggable QSFP AOC connections unless specified by the host equipment vendor.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC assemblies before deployment, and test the link after installation to confirm expected throughput and error rates. For best results, avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on connectors, keep connectors clean and covered when not in use, and follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for hot-plug operations and supported link protocols.
