BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 10 m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnections in data centres and network environments. With a 10 metre length and QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors, this cable provides a direct optical link for equipment that accepts 40GBASE-SR4 and QSFP form-factor interfaces. It integrates transmitter and receiver electronics in each connector to convert electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa over multimode fiber, enabling reliable 40 Gbit/s class data transmission across the specified distance.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a compact, low-latency alternative to separate transceivers plus fiber patch cables, reducing port-to-port signal loss and simplifying rack cabling. The integrated QSFP connectors follow MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications for broad compatibility with hardware that supports QSFP 40G interfaces. Because the cable is active, it handles optical signal conversion internally, which can improve signal integrity for short interconnect runs and support high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over short distances.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by plugging each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on compatible network devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor recommendations. Ensure ports are configured for the intended 40G protocol and that device firmware and hardware support active QSFP AOC modules. Avoid bending the cable sharply and maintain appropriate routing to prevent strain on connectors. If devices prompt for link negotiation or interface configuration, follow the equipment documentation to enable the 40G link.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks; verify compatibility with your network equipment and check vendor documentation for supported third-party AOC modules before deployment. Handle connectors gently and observe multimode fibre bend-radius guidelines to preserve performance.
