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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-NA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and HPC clusters. It uses QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends to provide a stable optical link with low latency and high aggregate bandwidth suited to InfiniBand network topologies. The cable is factory-terminated and ready for plug-and-play installation between compatible QSFP ports without additional transceivers.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high bandwidth density and low power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions. The QSFP connectors on both ends ensure a secure mechanical fit and reliable signal integrity over the full 1 metre length. As an optical assembly, it reduces electromagnetic interference and supports long-term performance stability in rack and cabinet environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Top-of-rack or end-of-row cabling where QSFP ports are available
• Low-latency links for latency-sensitive applications

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male to male)
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Typical characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth, immunity to EMI
• Installation: factory-terminated, plug-and-play

How to use

Align the QSFP connector keys with the device ports and insert the cable until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated in compatible QSFP ports on network switches, host adapters or storage nodes. No additional transceivers or fibre handling are required; the AOC is handled like a direct-attached cable. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor any port LEDs or management interfaces to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid kinking. Use appropriate cable management in racks and patch panels to prevent stress at the connector ends and to preserve optimal optical performance.
