BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-UQ-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 3 m conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-UQ-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3-meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in dense networking environments. Designed for use where low latency and high bandwidth are required, this cable supports reliable short-reach connections between switches, servers and network appliances in data centers and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable combines the compact QSFP form factor with optical signaling to reduce electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The 3 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and within-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity over the full run. Male QSFP connectors on both ends provide a secure plug-and-play interface compatible with QSFP ports that accept InfiniBand-compatible modules.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between servers and switches in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low latency
• Storage area networks (SAN) and clustered storage systems
• Short-reach links in telecom and enterprise network racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with InfiniBand signaling
• Connector type: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable) on both ends, male
• Length: 3 meters
• Data performance: designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency links suitable for InfiniBand environments
• Media: multi-channel optical fiber within a single AOC assembly
• Operating environment: suitable for data center and rack-mounted networking equipment

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-UQ-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on your devices until the connector engages. Ensure that the devices are powered off or that hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. Verify link status using the host or switch management interface after installation. For removal, press the connector latch or release mechanism and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housing and avoid bending the cable sharply; maintain bend radii consistent with manufacturer guidance to preserve optical performance. Use this AOC for short-distance, high-throughput interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks; for longer runs consider optical transceivers with fiber patch cabling. Confirm compatibility with your equipment's QSFP ports and firmware support before deployment.
