BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors designed for high-speed short-range links. At 10 meters length and with male QSFP interfaces on both ends, this cable provides a direct optical connection for servers, switches and storage systems that support QSFP form-factor transceivers and InfiniBand or 40G Ethernet interconnects. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules and uses multimode fibre to carry high-bandwidth signals with low latency suitable for data center and enterprise networking setups.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC delivers consistent signal quality over its 10 m reach while eliminating separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing component count in dense racks. Male QSFP connectors at both ends provide a plug-and-play physical interface compatible with QSFP ports that follow industry MSA form factors. The integrated active components ensure signal conditioning for low-latency, high-throughput links appropriate for short-range interconnects between switches, storage arrays and compute nodes.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the port latch engages. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required; the cable’s integrated transceivers handle optical conversion and signal conditioning. Verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and check port settings or link negotiation on connected devices after insertion. For hot-plug operations follow the equipment vendor’s guidelines to avoid port resets or traffic disruption.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m QSFP AOC for short-range, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain gentle cable bends and route the cable to avoid tight radii, mechanical strain or exposure to sharp edges. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor if strict vendor interoperability is required for feature reporting or management functions.
