BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-MA-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 3m male/male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-MA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand links. It uses QSFP form-factor male connectors on both ends to support short-reach, low-latency connections between switches, servers and network appliances. The cable is intended for use in dense networking environments where reliable, high-throughput fabric interconnects are required.

Advantages

This 3m InfiniBand cable provides high data throughput with low signal loss and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. The integrated optical transceivers and QSFP male connectors simplify installation and reduce the number of separate components required. Its compact, flexible design supports tidy cable management in rack and blade environments while offering consistent performance for demanding data centre workloads.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand-enabled switches and nodes in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Server-to-switch connections in rack and blade deployments
• Network appliances and storage systems with QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Performance: Designed for low-latency, high-throughput data transmission
• Cable jacket: flexible for rack-friendly routing

How to use

Connect each QSFP male connector to the corresponding QSFP port on your devices ensuring correct alignment and firm seating. No additional transceivers are required because the optical transceivers are integrated in the cable ends. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor interface diagnostics to confirm expected data rates and signal integrity. For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension while routing the cable through racks or cabinets.

Recommendations

Install the cable in environments with controlled temperature and minimal mechanical stress. Maintain bend radius limits and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Use this 3m QSFP AOC where short-reach, high-bandwidth InfiniBand links are needed; for longer distances consider appropriate optical transceivers and single-mode or multimode fibre options.
