Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-MR-BO 7m macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-MR-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 7m Male/Male is a 7‑meter active optical cable with QSFP interfaces on both ends, designed for high‑speed data links in data centre environments. It provides a compact, factory‑terminated connection for InfiniBand networks and short‑reach interconnects between servers, switches and storage equipment. The cable supports low latency transmission and is intended for reliable, high‑throughput links within racks and across adjacent rack rows.

Advantages

This QSFP‑to‑QSFP active optical cable offers high data transfer rates with minimal signal loss over the 7 m distance and reduces the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The factory‑assembled duplex design ensures consistent performance, predictable latency and simplified installation. The cable’s QSFP connector format provides broad compatibility with QSFP ports commonly used in InfiniBand and high‑performance computing setups.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Storage area network (SAN) links requiring low latency
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row interconnects within racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Length: 7 metres
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Use case: Short‑reach rack and row interconnects
• Performance: Designed for high throughput and low latency data transmission

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring connectors are fully seated and latches engage where applicable. Since this is a factory‑terminated active optical cable, no additional transceivers are required. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. After connection, verify link status on each device and confirm expected data rates and error counts through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For optimal reliability, use this 7 m QSFP AOC within the same data centre room or adjacent racks, avoid exposure to harsh physical environments, and follow standard ESD handling procedures when plugging or unplugging connectors. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary.
