BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-CH-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 7 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-CH-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7-metre active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links, this male-to-male cable supports dense server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing racks. It provides low-latency transmission and stable signal quality with a compact cable diameter suitable for managed cabling in equipment-dense environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP active optical cable offers high data throughput with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives, enabling reliable, error-minimised connections. The QSFP connector compatibility ensures straightforward integration with hardware using QSFP ports, while the 7-metre length provides flexibility for mid-range rack layouts. The lightweight, flexible construction improves cable routing and airflow in racks, and the all-optical link reduces heat generation at the connection points.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch links within racks and across adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and reduced heat are important

Key specifications

• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: QSFP (male to male)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical link for short-reach data centre use
• Typical applications: InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP connectors with the QSFP ports on your devices and inserting each connector until it seats securely. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP ports configured for the intended link (InfiniBand or supported Ethernet mode). Avoid tight bends and keep the cable within its minimum bend radius during routing. Verify link status and speed through your host or switch management tools after connection.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and maintain gentle bends. Use cable management panels or Velcro ties to secure runs and preserve airflow. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP active optical cables and update firmware or drivers when necessary to ensure correct link negotiation and optimal throughput.
