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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a short-reach active optical cable engineered for high-speed interconnects in server, switch and storage environments. With QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends and a one-metre length, this cable offers low-latency, high-bandwidth data transmission suitable for dense rack layouts and top-of-rack connections. The design focuses on reliable signal integrity and simplified deployment where copper cabling would be impractical or power and electromagnetic considerations require optical links.

Advantages

This 1 m InfiniBand AOC provides the bandwidth and low latency required for clustered compute and storage fabrics while removing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The male-to-male QSFP interfaces ensure a direct plug-in connection to compatible QSFP ports, reducing insertion points and potential failure sources. The active optical construction delivers consistent performance across the supported data rates and offers improved thermal and electromagnetic immunity compared with equivalent copper solutions.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and mid-plane interconnects between QSFP ports
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric links
• Short-reach connections in data centres, server rooms and storage arrays
• Scenarios requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links with minimal cabling bulk

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high bandwidth data transmission

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the matching QSFP port on network devices following vendor guidelines for port orientation and latch operation. Ensure devices are powered off or support hot-plugging per manufacturer instructions before insertion or removal to avoid damage. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius; secure the cable gently to prevent strain on the connector ends. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP AOC for clean, short-distance interconnects inside racks or between adjacent equipment. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat sources, sharp edges, or environments with high mechanical stress. For installations requiring longer runs or specific protocol transceiver compatibility, consult device documentation to select the appropriate optical or copper alternative.
