BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m Male/Male is a 20-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. The cable uses active transmitter and receiver components at each end to transfer optical signals over multimode fibre, and it supports protocols commonly deployed in data centers and high-performance computing systems. The Male/Male QSFP terminations provide a direct QSFP-to-QSFP connection without additional transceivers, enabling a compact cabling solution for short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers a 20-metre low-latency link suitable for dense networking racks and equipment rooms. It is compatible with QSFP interfaces and follows MSA-aligned QSFP connection conventions for plug-and-play integration. The integrated transceivers at both ends remove the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying installation while maintaining signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications up to 40 Gbit/s where supported by host equipment.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC20M-BO by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your network equipment and inserting until the connector latches. Ensure that both connected devices officially support QSFP AOC modules and the intended 40G or InfiniBand protocol. No separate transceiver modules are required; the cable contains the active optical components. Verify link status via the host equipment LED indicators or management interface after connection.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-distance interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends or pinch points; maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the equipment supplier. Confirm compatibility with the host devices for the intended 40G or InfiniBand protocols and test links after installation.
