Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP10M-BO 10 m QSFP naranja

The BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m QSFP Orange is an active optical cable designed for high-speed short-range connections in data center and networking environments. This 10-meter QSFP-to-QSFP AOC supports 40 Gbps serial links over multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver electronics on each end, providing a single-cable solution for high-bandwidth interconnects and replacing equivalent copper or transceiver-plus-patchcord assemblies where space, power, or electromagnetic considerations require optical cabling.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a compact QSFP form-factor connection with plug-and-play installation and fixed 10 m length for predictable link planning. Integrated optical transceivers at both ends reduce the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules and patch panels, while multimode fibre construction supports reliable short-reach 40G data transfer. The orange jacket and QSFP male/male connectors simplify identification and interface alignment in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP ports between switches, routers and storage systems within a rack or between adjacent racks
• High-bandwidth uplinks and server-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• Short-reach InfiniBand and 40G Ethernet links where a 10 m optical connection is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP to QSFP active optical cable
• Length: 10 metres
• Data rate: designed for 40 Gbps class links (40GBASE-SR4 / compatible 40G serial applications)
• Fibre type: multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers
• Connector gender: male-to-male QSFP connectors
• Cable jacket colour: orange

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports that support 40G AOC links. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures for your equipment if recommended by the hardware vendor, then insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and link health. For removal, press the release mechanism on each QSFP connector and withdraw the cable carefully to avoid stressing the fibre or connector.

Recommendations

Position the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended for multimode optical cables. Use the 10 m AOC within rack or adjacent-rack distances to ensure expected performance at 40 Gbps. Confirm compatibility with your switch or storage vendor’s list of supported active optical cables if your hardware enforces vendor checks.
