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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-SO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable fitted with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects in data centre and networking environments, offering low-latency, high-throughput links between compatible QSFP ports. The cable’s male-to-male QSFP configuration enables direct connection of switches, servers and adapters that accept QSFP modules without additional transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP active optical cable provides high data transfer capacity and signal integrity suited for short-reach high-performance links. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules, simplifying installation and reducing component count. Its compact 1 m length minimises cable clutter in dense rack environments while maintaining the electrical and thermal characteristics expected from QSFP interconnects.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and adapters
• Short-reach uplinks in networking racks and top-of-rack deployments
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Use case: Short-reach high-bandwidth interconnects
• Typical applications: Data centre networking, server interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports that support InfiniBand AOC connections. Align the QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert the cable until it seats securely; observe any port release mechanisms when disconnecting. No separate transceivers are required since the optical modules are integrated into the cable ends. Verify link status and configure networking settings on connected devices as required by your infrastructure.

Recommendations

Install the cable with gentle bends, respecting the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical cables, and avoid tensile stress on connector ends. Use the 1 m length for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent equipment to maintain signal quality and minimise excess cabling. Confirm firmware and port compatibility on network equipment when integrating into InfiniBand fabrics.
