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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-SP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7‑metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. Constructed to support low-latency connections and high bandwidth, this male-to-male cable provides a compact optical link between QSFP ports, reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives while maintaining stable signal integrity over a 7 m span.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for InfiniBand networks, with QSFP form-factor connectors that ensure a secure plug-in fit. The optical construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while the fixed length and integrated transceivers simplify installation and reduce the need for additional transceiver modules. The cable’s design provides consistent performance for horizontal and rack-to-rack connections within data centres.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric connections
• Data centre rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch links
• Low-latency storage area networks (SAN) and database backends
• Server interconnects requiring QSFP ports and optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male (both ends)
• Media: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 7 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Signal characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth optical link
• Environmental: suitable for data centre and indoor networking use

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment or servers until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for InfiniBand operation; the integrated optical transceivers are typically autodetected by standard QSFP ports. Avoid sharp bends and kinks along the 7 m cable run and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. If link is not established, verify port configuration, firmware compatibility and that the equipment supports active optical cables of this type.

Recommendations

Route the cable following manufacturer bend-radius guidelines, avoid proximity to extreme heat sources, and use appropriate cable management within racks to maintain airflow and reduce mechanical stress. For best performance, match link speed and port settings on connected devices and verify compatibility with equipment vendor specifications for QSFP AOC connections.
