BlueOptics AFBR-7QER01Z-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 1 m QSFP

The BlueOptics AFBR-7QER01Z-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP is a 1‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP male connectors designed for 40 Gbit/s links. It implements a multi‑mode optical connection with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, complying with MSA QSFP form‑factor guidance and intended for short‑reach, high‑speed links in data centre and high‑performance computing environments.

Advantages

This 1 m BlueOptics AOC provides a pre‑assembled optical link that eliminates the need for field splicing or patching and reduces insertion loss associated with separate transceivers and patch cords. The built‑in optical transceivers support simultaneous send and receive operation over multi‑mode fiber and include digital diagnostics monitoring functionality as defined in common MSA specifications for real‑time status of supply voltage, laser bias and optical power levels when supported by host hardware. The cable is produced to match MSA mechanical and electrical characteristics for reliable compatibility with equipment that supports the same QSFP 40GBASE‑SR4 connectivity.

Piemērots lietošanai

• 40 Gbit/s short‑reach switch‑to‑switch connections in data centres
• High‑performance computing clusters requiring low‑latency InfiniBand or Ethernet links
• Interconnects between routers, storage arrays and network appliances with QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP (male) to QSFP (male)
• Data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE‑SR4 compatible operation)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) using multi‑mode fiber with integrated Tx/Rx
• Digital diagnostics: supported when host hardware exposes DDM/DOM per MSA SFF‑8472

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, observing the port orientation and latch mechanism. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to support 40GBASE‑SR4 or compatible InfiniBand/Ethernet operation. If your equipment supports digital diagnostics, monitor status parameters through the device management interface to verify optical power, temperature and supply values. For best results, avoid tight bends in the cable and ensure connector interfaces are free from contaminants before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics AFBR‑7QER01Z‑BO 1 m QSFP AOC for short‑reach, high‑speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks where a pre‑terminated, low‑loss optical connection is required. Verify host compatibility with QSFP 40GBASE‑SR4 signaling and DDM support if you need remote diagnostics. Store and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain to preserve signal integrity and lifetime.
