Glasvezel InfiniBand-kabel BlueOptics MFS1S00-H005E-BO, QSFP56–QSFP56, 5 m, oranje

BlueOptics MFS1S00-H005E-BO is a 5 m orange InfiniBand fibre optic Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP56 connectors on both ends (male to male). Engineered for high-speed data interconnects in HPC clusters and data centre environments, this cable implements a compact QSFP56 interface for multi-lane, low-latency links and supports up to 200 Gbit/s over multi-mode fibre. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules on each end to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, enabling reliable short-range high-bandwidth connections.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC delivers a lightweight, flexible connection with a small form-factor QSFP56 interface suitable for dense rack environments. Being an active optical cable, it offloads optical transceiver functions into the cable ends which reduces host-side requirements and helps maintain signal integrity over the 5 m link. The orange jacket improves visibility for structured cabling and the cable is compatible with common Mellanox hardware platforms and other systems that support QSFP56 200GBASE-SR4 AOC implementations.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on your devices, ensuring the latch engages. Verify device compatibility with 200GBASE-SR4 or QSFP56 AOC links and confirm link status via your device management interface. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe standard handling for active optical assemblies to prevent damage to transceiver modules and fibre endfaces. No external transceivers or additional modules are required when used with compatible QSFP56 ports.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m active optical cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain bend radius guidelines, keep connectors covered when not in use, and verify firmware or compatibility notes on your networking equipment to ensure full 200G operation.
