Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 5 m (MFS1S00-H005-LL-BO)

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 5 m combines a QSFP56 connectorized transceiver and optical fiber in a single pre-terminated assembly designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects. The assembly delivers up to 200Gb/s aggregate throughput over a 5 meter multimode fiber link, providing a compact, low-latency connection suitable for high-density switch and server environments that use Infiniband HDR signaling. The integrated optics reduce electromagnetic interference and simplify cabling by eliminating separate transceiver modules and fiber patch cords.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC provides a standardized QSFP56 form factor for easy hot-plug installation into compatible ports and supports 200Gb/s data rates required for modern data center fabrics. By using active optical transmission, it offers extended signal integrity across the 5 m link while lowering system power consumption compared with longer copper assemblies at equivalent speeds. Its pre-terminated design reduces deployment time and the risk of connector contamination, and the optical medium minimizes EMI concerns in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the QSFP56 connector into the corresponding port on each device until it latches; no separate transceiver module or patch cord is required. Ensure compatible Infiniband HDR interfaces and matching QSFP56 port support on both endpoints before powering the link. Handle connectors by the housing and avoid touching optical endfaces; store the cable with protective caps when not in use. After installation, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the 5 m cable run clear of sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use in environments with compatible QSFP56 ports and Infiniband HDR-capable hardware; consult switch and server documentation for port firmware and compatibility notes when deploying in mission-critical fabrics.
