BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-EE-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 7 m conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7‑metre active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors designed for high-speed links in data center and high-performance computing environments. This cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth InfiniBand connections over a single optical link and provides a compact, factory-terminated solution for short to medium reach interconnects between switches, servers and storage nodes.

Advantages

The cable integrates optical transceivers and a QSFP connector pair in a single assembly, reducing the need for separate transceiver modules and simplifying installation. Its active optical design enables long reliable runs with lower power and heat compared to direct-attach copper for similar reach, and offers stable signal integrity for high data rates. The male-to-male QSFP connection ensures compatibility with ports that accept QSFP plugs and provides a secure mechanical fit for rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Top-of-rack and spine switch interconnects in data centers
• Server-to-storage high-bandwidth links
• Short- to medium-distance connections where low latency is required

Key specifications

• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Form factor: QSFP-compatible plug-and-play assembly

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP plug into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure ports are powered down if recommended by your hardware vendor before insertion or removal to avoid port damage. After connection, verify link status through the host system or switch management interface and configure InfiniBand fabrics or network settings as required. Avoid tight bends and maintain minimum bend radius during routing to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and excessive heat. Keep the connector interfaces clean and replace protective caps when ports are unused. Match the cable to QSFP-compatible ports rated for InfiniBand and confirm firmware or driver compatibility if required by your equipment vendor.
