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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-UQ-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for high-speed, low-latency interconnects in data center and server environments. This male-to-male QSFP AOC provides a compact, plug-and-play link for switches, routers, host channel adapters and storage systems that support InfiniBand interfaces. The cable integrates optics and electrical components in a single assembly to deliver consistent signal integrity over short-reach connections.

Advantages

This QSFP AOC offers high data throughput with low latency suitable for InfiniBand fabric connections while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cables. Its integrated design reduces port density and cooling impact compared with copper assemblies and simplifies installation by providing a single pre-assembled cable. The short 1 m length minimizes signal loss and is optimized for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where reliable, deterministic performance is required.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters in data centers
• Short-reach links between servers, storage arrays and network appliances
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Top-of-rack and within-rack cabling where QSFP ports are available

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand
• Typical application: Short-reach data center interconnects
• Performance: Designed for high throughput and low latency links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports until the connector latch engages. Ensure device ports are powered and configured for InfiniBand operation before use. The active optical cable is plug-and-play and does not require separate transceivers; monitoring and link status are managed by the connected equipment. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain at the connector ends.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP AOC for short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain bend radius and physical handling guidelines for fibre optic assemblies, and verify firmware and port settings on connected devices for InfiniBand compatibility to ensure stable, low-latency operation.
