BlueOptics MC2206310-003-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP

The BlueOptics MC2206310-003-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP is a 3-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach links in data centre and enterprise networking environments. The cable implements multimode optics with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end and follows MSA-compatible QSFP form factor and 40GBASE-SR4 signaling, enabling reliable 40 Gbit/s connections between QSFP-enabled switches, routers, storage systems and host adapters that support QSFP AOC modules.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides 40G data rate support over a 3 m multimode fibre link and is compatible with devices accepting QSFP AOC connections. The integrated transceivers at both ends reduce the need for separate SFP/QSFP transceivers and simplify installation with a plug-and-play QSFP-to-QSFP male/male design. Built to industry MSA signaling and connector standards, it offers predictable performance for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and SDH/SONET applications in dense rack and chassis environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both QSFP ports are powered down or that the host equipment supports hot-plugging according to the hardware vendor guidance. Align the QSFP connector keying with the port and insert the cable until the latch engages. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface. For removal, release the QSFP latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid stress on the cable or ports. Do not bend the cable sharply near the connector ends and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for port handling.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing near strong electromagnetic sources and maintain minimum bend radius specified for active optical assemblies. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and, if required, test the cable in your environment before deployment in critical paths.
