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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-ZA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable featuring QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects, this cable delivers low-latency data transmission suitable for data centre and high-performance computing environments. Its active optical design reduces signal degradation over the 1 m span while maintaining electrical compatibility with QSFP ports.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides high bandwidth capacity and low latency for fast data transfers. The male-to-male QSFP connector configuration ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation between compatible QSFP ports. As an active optical cable, it offers improved signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper solutions, enabling reliable operation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and compute nodes in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch QSFP connections in rack installations
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and signal degradation are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand and QSFP-compatible high-speed links
• Use environment: Data centre and high-performance computing applications
• Performance characteristics: Low latency, high bandwidth, minimal signal loss over 1 m

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP AOC connections and are powered down or in a state recommended by the device manufacturer for hot-plugging if applicable. Align each QSFP connector with the corresponding port and insert until the latch engages. Verify that link indicators on the connected devices show an active connection and confirm link speed and protocol via management interfaces as needed. For removal, release the latch and extract the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Route the cable with gentle bends only and avoid tight bends near the connector ends; maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Keep the connectors clean and covered when not in use to prevent contamination. Use this 1 m active optical cable for short interconnect runs within racks or between adjacent racks to maintain optimal signal performance.
