BlueOptics CBL-0310-005-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP

The BlueOptics CBL-0310-005-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP is a 5-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and professional networking environments. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end and uses multimode fibre to support short-reach high-bandwidth links. The male-to-male QSFP connection follows MSA-compatible form factors to ensure interoperability with devices that accept QSFP AOC modules.

Advantages

This 5 m QSFP AOC offers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for switch-to-switch, server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links within racks and across neighbouring racks. As an active optical cable it provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while its MSA-compatible QSFP ends allow straightforward plug-and-play installation in equipment that supports QSFP AOC modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP plug to the corresponding QSFP port on your networking device, ensuring the port supports QSFP AOC modules and the required 40G protocol. Handle the cable by its connector housings when plugging or unplugging; avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the optical cable. After insertion, verify link status and negotiatespeed in device management interfaces to confirm a stable connection.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m QSFP AOC for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where low latency and 40G throughput are required. Confirm device compatibility with MSA-compatible QSFP AOC modules and check firmware or vendor documentation if specific interoperability validation is needed.
