BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC1M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors designed for short‑reach, high‑speed connections in data centers and networking racks. The cable supports InfiniBand and 40G high‑speed transmission over multi‑mode fibre using integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector. Its Male/Male QSFP interface follows common MSA‑compatible form factors for direct QSFP‑to‑QSFP links between switches, routers, storage systems and other high‑density equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides high data throughput with low signal loss across a 1 m link, combining the compact QSFP connector form factor with integrated optical transceivers for plug‑and‑play installation. The all‑optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, enabling straightforward rack‑to‑rack and intra‑chassis connections while maintaining consistent transmission characteristics for InfiniBand and 40GBASE applications.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be connected, ensuring correct orientation and a secure mechanical latch. No separate transceivers or additional configuration are required for basic link establishment; devices will detect the optical link and negotiate protocol settings according to their firmware and port capabilities. Verify link status LEDs on both endpoints and monitor device interfaces to confirm a stable 40G or InfiniBand connection.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multi‑mode optical assemblies. Use this 1 m AOC for short‑reach interconnections inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances, select an appropriate fibre or transceiver solution. Ensure connected devices support the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 40GBASE‑SR4) and QSFP AOC compatibility.
