BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-QN-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 1m conector/conector

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-QN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a one-metre active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections. It features QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends and is intended for use where reliable, low-latency data links are required between switches, servers, or storage systems. The cable supports the physical connection needs of data centre and high-performance computing environments while maintaining a compact and manageable cable length.

Advantages

This 1m InfiniBand cable offers high-speed signal transmission with low power consumption and minimal latency due to its active optical design. The QSFP connectors provide a standardized interface for equipment that uses quad small form-factor pluggable ports, ensuring mechanical compatibility and secure mating. The short, fixed length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in rack installations, while the optical medium eliminates electromagnetic interference issues common with copper links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP ports on switches and routers in data centres
• Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage links in HPC clusters
• Short-reach backbone or aggregation layer connections where 1 m is sufficient
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male (active optical)
• Transmission medium: optical fibre (active optical cable)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Typical benefits: low latency, high bandwidth, EMI immunity

How to use

Inspect the QSFP ports on both devices to ensure they are clean and free of debris before insertion. Align the QSFP connector keyed edge with the device port and insert until it latches; confirm a secure connection by checking link/activity indicators on the connected equipment. Use the 1 metre length to route the cable without excessive bends or tension; follow vendor guidelines for minimum bend radius. If hot-pluggable support is available in your equipment, the cable can be connected or disconnected while systems are powered, but follow your hardware vendor’s procedures for hot-swap operations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and prolonged mechanical strain on the cable, keep connectors capped when not in use, and verify firmware and driver compatibility for InfiniBand ports on connected devices. Use the cable in appropriately ventilated rack environments to maintain signal integrity and equipment cooling.
