BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable supports 40 Gbit/s aggregated throughput and is intended for short-reach connections inside racks and between adjacent switches or servers. Its optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and provides predictable signal integrity for data centre and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This 1 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers high throughput with low latency suitable for demanding networking tasks. The QSFP-to-QSFP configuration simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional transceivers, while the active optical construction offers consistent performance over short distances with lower power dissipation compared to equivalent copper assemblies. The cable’s connectors are keyed for reliable mating and minimal signal loss.

How to use

Connect each QSFP plug to the corresponding QSFP ports on your switches, servers or adapters, ensuring correct alignment and full insertion until the connector latch engages. No additional transceivers or patch panels are required for standard QSFP ports; the cable is ready to use when both ends are seated. For change or maintenance, power down equipment if required by your site procedures, unplug the connector by depressing the latch, and store the cable without tight bends to preserve the optical fibres.

Recommendations

Install and route the cable following data centre best practices: avoid sharp bends, maintain minimum bend radius, and keep the cable away from heat sources and moving parts. Verify compatibility with your QSFP ports and firmware; consult equipment documentation for supported link settings and lane configurations where applicable.
