BlueOptics QSFP-40G-AOC-10M-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel 10 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-AOC-10M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for 40 Gbps interconnects. It provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play connection using multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers in each QSFP module and follows common QSFP MSA form-factor conventions. The cable is intended for high-speed links between switches, routers and servers in data centres and high-performance computing environments where short-reach 40G connectivity is required.

Advantages

The AOC design integrates optical transceivers into the cable ends, eliminating separate SFP/QSFP modules and reducing assembly complexity. With a fixed 10-metre length and QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity, this cable reduces insertion points and can simplify rack-to-rack or within-rack cabling. It supports standard 40GBASE-SR4 signalling and is suitable for InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics that require low-latency, high-bandwidth links. The active optical construction provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network equipment until it seats securely. Ensure equipment is powered down or follows hot-plug guidance from the device manufacturer if required. Verify link status through the host devices and configure interfaces according to your network settings. Because the optical transceivers are integrated, no separate module installation is necessary; simple physical connection and host configuration complete the setup.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m QSFP AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth internal data centre links and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling force on the cable. Confirm that the connected hardware supports QSFP AOC compatibility and 40GBASE-SR4 or equivalent signalling before deployment. Store and route the cable to prevent sharp bends and maintain multimode fibre bend-radius recommendations for optimal performance.
