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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-PS-BO is a 7-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP Male connectors designed for 40G multi-mode optical links. It supports 40GBASE-SR4 transmission and is intended for high-speed data center interconnects between switches, routers, storage systems and servers. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end and uses multi-mode fiber to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth connections without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a factory-terminated, pre‑assembled QSFP-to-QSFP solution that removes the need for patch cords and additional transceivers, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. The cable is manufactured to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time status of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive optical power and temperature. High-quality optical and electronic components are selected to ensure long service life and stable 40 Gbit/s performance over the full 7 m length.

Suitable for

• 40G server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Low-latency links for virtualization and database systems
• Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET optical links up to 40 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (QSFP-to-QSFP, Male/Male)
• Length: 7 meters
• Data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4)
• Fiber type: multi-mode fiber
• Active optical cable with integrated Tx/Rx modules on each end
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472 compatible)
• MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical interface
• Designed for low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-PS-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the appropriate QSFP port on your networking equipment until it is securely latched. Ensure the host devices support 40G QSFP AOC modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM monitoring in the device management interface to access real‑time diagnostics. Use the cable for direct links between QSFP ports; avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your hardware platform and firmware prior to deployment. Maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer, keep connectors free of dust and contaminants, and allow the DDM/DOM function to assist with remote troubleshooting and link monitoring. For critical production environments, test the cable in a lab or request a sample to confirm interoperability and performance.
