Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-SP-BO 1m conector/conector

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-SP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable designed for high‑speed interconnects in data centre and networking environments. With QSFP form‑factor connectors on both ends and an InfiniBand‑compatible optical interface, the cable supports low-latency data transfer and stable signal integrity across short rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. The cable is intended for use where compact, high-bandwidth links are required and where electrical cabling is unsuitable due to interference or heat constraints.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high data throughput with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper solutions and provides consistent performance over its 1 m length. The male QSFP connectors ensure straightforward insertion into compatible ports and maintain mechanical reliability under typical data centre handling. The fibre-based design offers lower power consumption for transceivers and improved thermal behaviour in dense network deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-bandwidth links between switches, servers, or storage in data centres
• InfiniBand networks requiring low latency and high throughput
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference where optical cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connectors: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible optical link
• Use case: Short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP male connector with the corresponding QSFP port on the devices and insert until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by device vendors if connecting live. Verify that the network interfaces recognise the optical link and check link status indicators on connected equipment. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in a dry, dust‑free environment and avoid excessive bending or pulling. For optimal performance in data centre racks, keep the 1 m cable for short interconnects; use longer AOC assemblies or appropriate transceiver and fibre solutions for greater distances. Follow standard ESD precautions and vendor guidance for QSFP ports when handling connectors.
