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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-VA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3-metre active optical cable with QSFP male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. It offers a compact, low-latency connection option for linking switches, servers and storage systems that use QSFP ports and InfiniBand protocols. The cable supports high bandwidth over short distances while maintaining signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This 3m QSFP InfiniBand cable provides a lightweight, flexible link that simplifies rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections. As an active optical cable, it combines optical transmission with integrated electronics to drive reliable, long-term performance at high data rates. The male-to-male QSFP termination ensures plug-and-play compatibility with devices that accept QSFP modules, enabling straightforward installation without additional transceivers. The design reduces heat generation and space requirements in dense network installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Interconnects between storage arrays and compute nodes
• Short-reach InfiniBand fabric links within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-bandwidth, low-latency clustering and HPC environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male-to-male
• Length: 3 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission medium: Fibre optic
• Designed for: InfiniBand protocol and high-speed data links
• Form factor: Compact QSFP for high-density ports

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-VA-BO by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your devices and inserting until it clicks into place. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that device interfaces support InfiniBand QSFP connections. No additional optical transceivers are required. After insertion, verify link status through device management interfaces and monitor for signal integrity during initial operation. For removal, depress the connector latch (if present) and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ports.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are priorities. Avoid tight bends or kinks—maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius—and keep connectors clean and covered when not in use to preserve performance. Verify compatibility with your hardware’s QSFP and InfiniBand versions before deployment.
