InfiniBand/optický kabel BlueOptics AA1404028-E6-NT-BO 10 m QSFP samec/samec

The BlueOptics AA1404028-E6-NT-BO is a 10 m InfiniBand / fibre optic active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. It follows MSA QSFP form-factor specifications and supports 40GBASE-SR4 multimode optical transmission over a pre-assembled cable with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end. The cable eliminates the need for patch cords in short-reach high-performance environments and reduces sensitivity to electromagnetic interference while providing stable data throughput.

Advantages

This 10 m BlueOptics AOC offers reliable 40 Gbps optical connectivity in data center and HPC environments using QSFP-to-QSFP interfaces. Because the transmitter and receiver modules are integrated and tested to MSA standards, the cable provides consistent signal quality and digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for real-time supply voltage, laser bias current, average output power, received input power and temperature. The pre-terminated design simplifies installation and reduces insertion loss compared with separate patch cord assemblies.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 40 Gbps links between switches and top-of-rack switches
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Storage area network connections and server uplinks
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and low latency

Key specifications

• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Transmission standard: 40GBASE-SR4 (multimode fiber)
• Active Optical Cable with integrated TX/RX modules
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM / DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)
• Suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET up to 40 Gbps
• Pre-assembled multimode fiber cable, immune to EMI

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AA1404028-E6-NT-BO by inserting the QSFP connectors into compatible QSFP ports on switches, routers or servers that support QSFP AOC devices. Ensure the host hardware supports 40GBASE-SR4 links and, if required, the digital diagnostic monitoring function. Handle connectors by the housings, avoid bending the cable beyond recommended bend radius, and power down or place ports in a safe state if the device manufacturer recommends it before insertion or removal. No additional transceivers or patch cords are needed for direct QSFP-to-QSFP connections.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM in host equipment to monitor link health. Maintain recommended minimum bend radius and keep QSFP connector interfaces clean. For critical installations, validate link performance with a sample or test run before large-scale deployment.
