BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AL-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 50 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m Male/Male is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connections designed for high-speed short-reach links. At 50 metres length, the cable integrates transceivers and multimode optical fiber to provide a direct fiber connection between compatible QSFP ports, supporting up to 40 Gbit/s data rates and designed to meet MSA-compliant QSFP form-factor requirements.

Advantages

This QSFP AOC offers plug-and-play connectivity with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end, reducing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching. Its multimode construction minimises signal loss over the 50 m distance and provides stable, low-latency links suitable for data centre interconnects and high-performance networking equipment. Compatibility with hardware platforms that support the equivalent Alcatel-Lucent QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AL model simplifies deployment in mixed environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects within data centres and server rooms
• Connecting QSFP ports on switches, routers and storage systems
• High-bandwidth applications such as InfiniBand, 40G Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
• Optical medium: multimode fiber
• Length: 50 metres
• Form-factor compliance: QSFP (MSA-compliant)

How to use

Install by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper alignment until the connector latches. The integrated transceivers are preconfigured for plug-and-play operation; devices typically detect the AOC automatically and negotiate the link. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation and route it along standard cable trays or within rack channels to maintain multimode fiber performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify that the target devices officially support the equivalent Alcatel‑Lucent QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AL AOC or are compatible with MSA-compliant QSFP modules. Maintain bend radius and handling guidelines for multimode fiber, and prefer controlled data centre environments to minimise mechanical stress and temperature extremes.
