BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-MA-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 1m conector/conector

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-MA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed, short-reach connections in data centre and enterprise networking environments. It supports InfiniBand protocols and provides a compact, low-latency link for connecting switches, servers and storage systems where reliable high-bandwidth transmission is required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for InfiniBand environments while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The QSFP connectors on both ends simplify installation and reduce rack space compared with discrete transceiver-based links. At 1 metre length, the cable minimises signal degradation for short-reach interconnects and supports dense cabling deployments in modern data centres.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Links between compute nodes and storage arrays
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Protocol support: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed data transmission
• Use case: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects for data centre equipment

How to use

Power on connected devices before inserting the cable to ensure hot-swap compatibility with QSFP ports. Align the QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert until the latch engages; verify the links on both devices indicate a successful connection. For removal, depress the release mechanism on the QSFP connector and withdraw the cable straight out to avoid damaging the port. Use the 1-metre length for direct patching between adjacent racks, within switch panels, or between servers in the same chassis area.

Recommendations

Avoid excessive bending and sharp kinks; follow manufacturer minimum bend radius guidelines. Keep the connector end-faces clean and protect them from dust when not in use. Use this cable for short, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between closely spaced equipment where InfiniBand performance and low latency are required.
