BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP Aqua 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP Aqua 1m Male/Male is a 1-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity designed for 40G data links. Built to MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor specifications, the cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver elements at each end and uses multimode fiber to carry high-speed signals. It is intended for short-reach connections inside racks and between adjacent racks in data center and high-performance computing environments where reliable 40G links are required.

Advantages

The AOC design eliminates separate transceiver modules and patch cords, reducing power consumption and simplifying installation while maintaining signal integrity for 40GBASE-SR4 and compatible protocols. Its 1 m length provides a compact, low-latency connection with the reliability of factory-terminated QSFP interfaces. The cable supports common 40G applications including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet when used with hardware that accepts the compatible QSFP AOC form factor.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into the appropriate QSFP port on the devices being connected, ensuring proper alignment and full seating until the connector latch engages. Use this 1 m AOC for direct QSFP-to-QSFP links; no separate transceivers or patch cables are required. Verify that the network equipment firmware and port settings support 40G AOC modules and compatible protocols before bringing the link into production.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Use the 1 m AOC for short-reach links inside cabinets and between adjacent racks, and confirm compatibility with the target hardware platform to ensure full functionality and proper auto-negotiation of 40G links.
