BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-FR-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 1m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-FR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data links in server rooms and data centres. Fitted with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand interconnects and is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems. Its single-metre length minimises excess cable in dense environments while maintaining signal integrity for demanding networking applications.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides a compact, plug-and-play solution for high-throughput links with low insertion loss and consistent performance. The QSFP connectors deliver reliable mechanical retention and alignment, and the short 1 m length reduces clutter and improves airflow in racks. As an active optical cable, it offers electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, which helps maintain stable InfiniBand performance in mixed equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand-enabled switches and routers in data centres
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays requiring high bandwidth
• High-performance computing clusters and low-latency network fabrics
• Racked environments where short, reliable cables improve cable management

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Signal medium: Fibre optic (optical signalling)
• Application: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-FR-BO by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding port on the network device and inserting until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered and configured for InfiniBand operation and verify link status via host or switch diagnostics. The cable requires no additional transceivers or fibre termination; treat the connectors gently to avoid contamination and inspect ports for dust before insertion. For replacement or relocation, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight to avoid stressing the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable in temperature-controlled rack environments and avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer's recommended bend radius. Keep connectors capped or covered when not in use and route the cable to minimise mechanical strain. Confirm firmware and driver compatibility on connected devices to ensure full InfiniBand speed and feature support.
