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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand links. It integrates QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends and provides a single-cable solution for short to medium reach interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission while maintaining signal integrity over its length.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable offers lightweight, bend-tolerant performance combined with the electrical compatibility of QSFP connectors. By using optical signalling it reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The integrated design removes the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers within racks and across adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch links in high-performance computing clusters
• Storage area network connections requiring high bandwidth and low latency
• Leaf-spine fabric connections in data centre topologies

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP-to-QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 7 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Signal medium: multimode optical transmission optimized for short/medium reach
• Typical characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth, EMI immunity

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on networking equipment, ensuring the connector latch engages securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; adhere to the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for optical fibre assemblies. The integrated AOC design requires no separate transceivers or patch cables—power and optical conversion are handled within the cable assembly. Verify link status through the host equipment once connected to confirm proper negotiation and speed.

Recommendations

Install the cable in environments within the equipment-specified temperature range, avoid kinking or crushing the cable, and maintain adequate airflow around active components. For best performance, keep cable runs clear of high-power electrical sources to preserve signal integrity and follow data centre cable-management practices to reduce strain and allow easy access for maintenance.
