Actieve optische kabel BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 5 m (980-9I45Q-00V005-BO)

BlueOptics QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides 200Gb/s full-duplex connectivity designed for Infiniband HDR environments. The 5 m optical link uses a QSFP56 form factor to connect servers, switches and storage devices with low latency and stable optical transmission. Compared with equivalent copper assemblies, this AOC reduces electromagnetic interference and heat dissipation while preserving compatibility with standard QSFP56 ports for short-reach data center interconnects.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable delivers high aggregate throughput of 200Gb/s with optical signal integrity suited to low-latency compute clusters and storage fabrics. Its QSFP56 connector compatibility simplifies integration into equipment with QSFP56 ports. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and improves thermal performance compared with copper cabling, while the 5 m length is appropriate for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in modern data centers.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the equipment vendor if connecting under power. Confirm link status and negotiated data rate via the host or switch management interface. For predictable performance, avoid tight bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius during routing within racks and cable trays.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent sharp bends or crushing; maintain a clean connector environment and check compatibility with your equipment's QSFP56 ports and firmware for supported Infiniband HDR operation.
