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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-LE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand protocols and is intended for low-latency links between switches, servers, storage arrays and other networking equipment that require reliable, high-speed data transmission over a short distance.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high data throughput and electrical isolation while maintaining a compact QSFP connector footprint. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with copper alternatives and supports the densely packed port configurations common in modern racks. Its 1 metre length minimizes signal loss for short interconnects and simplifies cable management in equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-speed links between switches and servers in data centers
• Interconnects in high-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Connections between storage systems and compute nodes requiring low latency
• Environments where compact QSFP connectivity and reduced EMI are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP-to-QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 1 metre
• Supported interface: InfiniBand (short-reach, high-bandwidth)
• Typical use case: short-distance interconnects in rack environments
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for HPC and storage traffic

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your networking devices until the connector latches. Ensure both ports are powered and configured for the same InfiniBand link settings. Route the 1 metre cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius, keeping it clear of hot airflow paths and mechanical strain. If the devices support link diagnostics, verify the link status after installation and confirm proper data rates and error counters in the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP AOC for short interconnects where minimal latency and compact cabling are priorities. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, protect connectors from dust when not in use, and verify compatibility with your switch or host adapter firmware for optimal performance.
