BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-DL-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 1 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-DL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1 metre active optical cable engineered for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand topologies and provides low-latency, high-throughput links between servers, switches and storage devices. Constructed for data centre and high-performance computing environments, the cable combines compact form factor with consistent signal integrity over its 1 m length.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers high data rates with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to its optical transmission. The QSFP male-to-male connectors enable direct plug-and-play connections without separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying installation. Its 1 m length is suited for short, rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, providing reliable performance in dense server environments. The cable’s design emphasises stable signal quality and compatibility with standard QSFP ports used in networking and HPC equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between QSFP-enabled switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Within-rack or rack-to-rack links in data centres
• Low-latency storage area network (SAN) interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported topology: InfiniBand
• Typical use: short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports and that their firmware supports AOC links. Align the QSFP connector latches with the port openings and insert the connectors firmly until they click into place. For removal, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port. Use the 1 m cable for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks to maintain optimal signal performance. Avoid sharp bends and kinks along the cable path to preserve optical integrity.

Recommendations

Install the cable in environments with controlled temperature and humidity, and keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s recommended minimum. Use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain airflow in racks. Verify compatibility with your equipment’s QSFP port specifications and firmware to ensure link negotiation and full performance.
