BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-MV-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 3m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-MV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3‑metre active optical cable designed to provide high-speed, low-latency links between QSFP ports. It uses QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends in a male/male configuration and is intended for short-reach interconnects in data centre and networking environments where InfiniBand performance and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable delivers multi‑lane high throughput with low power consumption and minimal signal loss over the 3 m length. The male/male QSFP connectors offer plug-and-play convenience for compatible switches, routers and network adapters. As an optical solution, it reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and provides stable transmission for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand interconnects
• Top-of-rack or spine switch connections in data centres
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch short-reach links
• Storage area network (SAN) fabrics requiring QSFP connectivity

Key specifications

• Type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male — both ends
• Supported fabric: InfiniBand-compatible links
• Cable length: 3 metres
• Signal medium: Fibre optic (optical) transmission
• Use case: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the connector latches securely. Ensure both host ports are powered and configured for matching InfiniBand link speeds and lane configurations. No special tools are required; the cable is designed for plug-and-play installation. Verify link status in the host management interface and, if necessary, configure port settings or firmware to enable full bandwidth.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this cable for intra-rack and inter-rack short-reach connections and avoid exposure to sharp edges or excessive mechanical stress to preserve optical performance.
