BlueOptics QSFP-40G-5M-RC-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 5m OSFP QSFP stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-5M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short-reach connections. It features QSFP to QSFP male connectors and supports 40G data rates using multimode fibre optics. The cable is intended for use in data centers and networking environments where reliable 40G interconnects between compatible QSFP ports are required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics 5m AOC provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play optical link with integrated transmitter and receiver on each end, reducing the need for transceivers and fibre patching. As an active optical cable designed according to MSA-aligned QSFP standards, it delivers consistent 40GBASE-SR4 performance over multimode fibre and eliminates electrical signal constraints for short-distance high-bandwidth links. The compact form factor and fixed length simplify cable management and improve airflow in rack environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-5M-RC-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your networking devices. Ensure that connected devices officially support QSFP AOCs and that ports are configured for 40G operation. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cables are required; the integrated transmitters and receivers handle optical conversion. Verify link status at the device level and review device logs or LEDs to confirm a stable 40G connection after insertion.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks to maintain optimal signal integrity. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the plugs. Confirm hardware compatibility with device vendor documentation if using in branded platforms that list specific supported AOC models.
