Active Optical Cable BlueOptics 980-9I45G-00H010 QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR 10m

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics 980-9I45G-00H010 QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR 10m is a 10-metre duplex fiber assembly designed for short-reach high-performance interconnects. With QSFP56 connectors and a 200Gb/s aggregate data rate, this AOC is intended for Infiniband HDR environments, data centers, HPC clusters and storage networks where low latency and high bandwidth are required. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared to copper alternatives and is compatible with interoperable QSFP56 ports for straightforward deployment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC combines a high aggregate throughput of 200Gb/s with the electrical isolation and signal integrity benefits of optical fiber, delivering consistent low-latency links for demanding applications. The 10 m length covers common rack-to-rack and within-row topologies without additional transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying cabling. QSFP56 connectivity ensures compatibility with standard QSFP56 ports used in many modern Infiniband HDR switches and adapters.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by plugging each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on devices such as switches, host adapters or storage nodes. Ensure ports are compatible with QSFP56 AOC modules and that link settings on both ends (speed, lane configuration) match the intended 200Gb/s operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure it within cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent accidental disconnection during equipment maintenance.

Recommendations

Verify firmware and driver compatibility of connected devices before deployment and perform a link test after installation to confirm full 200Gb/s throughput. Maintain bend radii, avoid tight routing through cable ducts, and store spare AOCs in dust-free packaging to preserve connector cleanliness.
