BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-LO-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel 3 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-LO-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission in data center environments, this cable supports low-latency links between switches, servers and storage systems. Its optical design minimizes signal degradation over the 3 m span and provides a compact, plug-and-play alternative to separate transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable delivers consistent high bandwidth and low latency while reducing the need for additional transceivers and patch panels. The integrated QSFP connectors simplify installation and replacement, and the 3 m length offers flexibility for short to medium rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. Designed for data center reliability, the cable provides stable optical performance with minimal signal loss and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between QSFP-enabled switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections in racks
• InfiniBand clusters and HPC interconnects requiring low latency
• Short to medium distance data center cabling where space and heat are constrained

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Application: InfiniBand and fibre optic data transmission
• Transmission: High-speed optical link with low signal loss
• Typical use: Data center interconnects, rack-level connections

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on your network device, ensuring a secure mechanical fit and correct port orientation. The active optical cable is plug-and-play in most environments and does not require separate transceivers or fiber patching. Verify link status through the device management interface after insertion and route cables to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable within a clean, temperature-controlled data center environment, avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress, and confirm compatibility with device QSFP port specifications. If using in high-density racks, plan cable routing to minimize strain and allow adequate airflow around network equipment.
