BlueOptics ET6402-AOC-10M-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel QSFP 10 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics ET6402-AOC-10M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP 10m Male/Male is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP male connectors that supports 40G data rates over multimode fibre. Designed to follow MSA standards, the cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to transfer optical signals for high-speed networking. It is intended for data centre and high-performance computing environments where reliable, short-range 40G connections are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 40GBASE-SR4 compatible performance across 10 metres, providing low-latency, high-throughput connections while avoiding the electromagnetic interference associated with copper alternatives. The integrated transceivers simplify deployment by presenting a single QSFP interface on each end and the multimode design reduces signal loss over the stated distance. The cable is compatible with hardware platforms that support QSFP AOC modules, enabling straightforward integration into switches, routers and storage systems.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics ET6402-AOC-10M-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats firmly. Ensure that both connected devices support QSFP AOC modules and 40G operation. No separate transceiver modules are required because the cable includes built-in optical transceivers; the connected equipment typically recognizes the AOC as a single QSFP link. Verify link status in the device management interface and confirm negotiation at the intended speed and protocol (Ethernet, FCoE, etc.).

Recommendations

Use the cable within its 10 m nominal length for guaranteed 40G performance and avoid tight bends or kinks in the fibre to maintain signal integrity. Confirm vendor compatibility with your specific switch or server model if the platform enforces vendor-lock checks. For environments with significant electromagnetic noise or where lighter cabling is preferred, choose AOC over copper QSFP cables.
