AOC-kabel BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-10M-CT-BO 10m QSFP stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-10M-CT-BO is a 10 m active optical cable with QSFP male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach data links. It implements a 40GBASE-SR4 compatible interface over multimode fiber with integrated transmitters and receivers in each QSFP end. The cable is intended for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments where compact, low-latency 40 Gbps connectivity between QSFP ports is required.

Advantages

The active optical design delivers stable 40 Gbps performance over the 10 m link while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than equivalent copper direct-attach cables at the same data rate. QSFP male-to-male connectors provide plug-and-play compatibility with QSFP ports that support 40GBASE-SR4. The multimode fiber construction and integrated optics reduce the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and cable management in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect QSFP ports for dust or damage before insertion. Align and insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats securely; follow device-specific release procedures when removing the cable. The cable is plug-and-play on systems that support QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 operation; no separate transceivers are required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for optical fibers.

Recommendations

Use the cable in compatible hardware that officially supports QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 connections. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep connectors capped when not in use, and verify firmware or platform compatibility for third-party AOC modules if device vendor interoperability guidance is required.
