Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-CO-BO 1 m QSFP macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-CO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m QSFP Male is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach high-speed links, the cable supports 40G data rates over multimode fiber and follows QSFP AOC MSA interface standards. The integrated transceivers (laser transmitter and receiver at each end) provide a pre-assembled fiber connection that removes the need for separate patch cords, reduces installation effort and avoids electromagnetic interference typical of copper links.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP AOC delivers 40G-capable optical transmission in a compact, factory-terminated form factor that simplifies rack and hyperscale interconnects. Being MSA-compliant, it is interoperable with equipment that supports QSFP AOC modules and provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and module temperature when supported by host hardware. The AOC construction eliminates manual fibre termination and reduces link attenuation and contamination issues associated with field-terminated patch cords.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between QSFP ports in switches and routers within racks and adjacent racks
• High-performance computing (HPC) and InfiniBand fabrics requiring 40G links
• Storage systems and server connections where pre-terminated, low-maintenance optical links are preferred

• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when enabled by host
• Standards: QSFP AOC MSA compliant; designed to meet common industrial directives for telecom equipment

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-CO-BO by inserting the QSFP connector plugs into compatible QSFP ports on network switches, routers or servers. Ensure that the host ports support QSFP AOC modules and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM readout through the host management interface. Because the cable is factory-terminated, there is no need for onsite fibre polishing or connector cleaning beyond standard port inspection. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends consistent with optical cable bend radius recommendations.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware and confirm that the equipment firmware supports third-party QSFP AOC modules and DDM/DOM access if diagnostics are needed. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain adjacency between connected devices according to your rack layout for optimal performance.
