BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-MT-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 7m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-MT-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-meter active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and network racks. It provides a direct, electro-optical connection between QSFP ports, reducing electromagnetic interference and enabling long-reach, low-latency links suitable for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports high aggregate bandwidth and stable signal integrity across the full 7 m length while consuming less power than comparable copper solutions. The QSFP male ends allow plug-and-play operation with standard QSFP ports, offering simplified deployment and hot-plug capability. The fibre-based design minimizes crosstalk and heat generation in dense rack environments and maintains consistent performance for latency-sensitive workloads.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and GPU interconnects
• Data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• InfiniBand fabrics and low-latency network deployments
• Backbone cabling in enterprise networks where QSFP ports are used

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 7 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand and fibre optic high-speed links
• Signal characteristics: Low-latency, high-bandwidth optical transmission
• Environmental: Suitable for data center rack installations

How to use

Connect each QSFP male connector to compatible QSFP ports on the devices you intend to link, ensuring ports are powered and configured for the intended fabric or network protocol. No additional transceivers are required because the optical transceivers are integrated in the cable ends. After connecting, verify link status on connected equipment and adjust interface settings if necessary for speed, lane mapping or fabric configuration.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the reinforced connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connector area. Route the cable following standard data center cable management practices to prevent strain and maintain optical performance. Use this cable in environments with compatible QSFP ports and firmware that supports active optical cable links.
