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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-NK-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends. It is intended for high-speed, short-reach links in data center and high-performance computing applications where low latency and high bandwidth are required. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a fiber link in a single assembly to provide a compact, low-power connection between QSFP-capable ports.

Advantages

This QSFP AOC delivers high data throughput while reducing electromagnetic interference and power consumption compared with equivalent copper links. Its pre-terminated all-in-one design simplifies installation and reduces transceiver inventory. The optical connection offers improved signal integrity over short distances and supports the dense port configurations commonly found in modern switches and servers.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• Connections between high-performance compute nodes and storage arrays
• Short-reach links inside server racks or between adjacent racks
• Low-latency InfiniBand fabrics and RDMA-enabled networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported link: InfiniBand and fibre optic protocols for short-reach high-speed connections
• Application: Data center interconnect, high-performance computing, server-to-switch links
• Design: Pre-terminated, integrated optical transceivers for plug-and-play deployment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices, ensuring proper orientation and a secure latch. Verify compatibility with the host ports and, if applicable, configure port settings on switches or network adapters to match the required link speed and protocol. Test the link after installation to confirm operational status and error-free transmission.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by its connector housings and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use this AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth links within racks or across adjacent racks rather than long-haul runs. Confirm QSFP port compatibility and firmware requirements with equipment vendors before deployment.
