BlueOptics CBL-0310-007-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP

The BlueOptics CBL-0310-007-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP is a 7‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is designed for high‑speed short‑reach links in data center and networking environments, supporting multi‑mode fiber transmission and protocols that utilise QSFP to QSFP connections. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver components at each end to carry optical signals over 7 meters with support for 40G class applications in compatible hardware that accepts QSFP AOC modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a single‑cable solution for high throughput connections where low latency and consistent signal integrity are required. The QSFP to QSFP form factor follows MSA‑compatible mechanical interfaces and enables plug‑and‑play installation in systems that support QSFP AOCs. The 7 m length offers flexibility for rack‑to‑rack or within‑rack connections while maintaining active optical signal conditioning for reliable 40G class performance over multi‑mode fiber.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP AOC connections and the intended 40G protocol before installation. With power to the network devices turned on as per vendor guidance, insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP slot until it latches. Verify link status and speed via the host device management interface or LED indicators. To remove, depress the connector latch and withdraw the QSFP plug carefully to avoid stressing the cable ends.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and crushing; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for active optical assemblies. Use this AOC in compatible hardware platforms that officially support QSFP AOC modules to ensure full functionality. For critical deployments, validate interoperability and performance with a test sample before large‑scale rollout.
