BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 3m QSFP stekker

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-3M-BO is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors, engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic links. It enables low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems in data center and enterprise network environments. The cable combines optical transmission with QSFP form-factor compatibility to provide a compact, hot-pluggable link for short-range interconnects.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers high data throughput with minimal signal loss and electromagnetic immunity compared with copper alternatives. Its integrated transceivers simplify deployment by eliminating separate SFP/QSFP modules and reducing port occupancy. The 3 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and within-rack connections while maintaining consistent link performance and low power consumption.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing (InfiniBand) interconnects
• Storage area network links and SAN fabrics
• Short-range optical interconnects within racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand and compatible fibre optic links
• Form factor: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable)

How to use

Insert each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidance from the equipment manufacturer where applicable. Verify link status and speed via the host or switch management interface after installation. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable clear of sources of mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics 3 m QSFP AOC for short-range, high-bandwidth links in rack environments. Maintain bend radius guidelines, secure cable routing to prevent strain on connectors, and confirm compatibility with your InfiniBand or QSFP-capable ports before deployment.
