Actieve optische kabel BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR 10m (980-9I45H-00H010-BO)

BlueOptics active optical cable QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR 10m is a factory-terminated duplex AOC that delivers 200 gigabits per second over a 10-metre optical link. Designed for Infiniband HDR environments, this cable uses a QSFP56 form factor to connect switches, servers and high-performance computing racks with a low-latency, high-throughput interface. The pre-terminated optical assembly eliminates field termination and supports short-reach data center interconnects where QSFP56 ports are available.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper cables while offering consistent signal integrity across the full 10 m reach. QSFP56 compatibility ensures high-density port usage and straightforward integration with compatible network equipment. As a pre-assembled solution, the cable reduces installation time and the risk of connector contamination or mis-termination, making it suitable for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment links in dense data center layouts.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on network switches, servers or HBA/adapter cards. Ensure that both ends are fully seated and that device port LEDs indicate a proper link. No field termination or polishing is required; handle the connectors with care to avoid contamination. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid tight bundles near high-heat sources to maintain signal performance over the 10 m length.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with QSFP56 ports and Infiniband HDR link speeds before deployment. Keep connector endfaces clean and use dust caps when the cable is disconnected. For best results in dense installations, plan cable runs to allow sufficient bend radius and separate power and high-heat cabling where possible.
