BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable QSFP 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors, designed for 40GBASE-SR4 applications. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end and uses multimode fiber to deliver high-speed, low-latency optical links for data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports common transport protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet and conforms to MSA-defined QSFP form-factor requirements.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides plug-and-play connectivity with pre-assembled QSFP to QSFP terminations that eliminate the need for field splicing or separate transceivers. Built to MSA standards, the cable is compatible with major networking hardware that supports equivalent 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP AOCs. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature where supported by the host hardware. The use of high-quality optical and electronic components yields extended service life and reduced maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your compatible switches, routers or storage devices. Ensure the host devices support 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP AOCs and, if you require monitoring, that the hardware exposes DDM/DOM information. Avoid excessive bending of the cable near connectors and route the cable to prevent sharp bends or kinks. After insertion, verify link status on the connected devices and check diagnostic values through the host management interface if available.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-5M-BO in compatible QSFP-capable ports and within the specified 5 m reach. Maintain minimum bend radius guidelines for multimode AOCs, keep connectors and ports free of dust, and confirm that the host firmware and drivers support third-party AOCs and DDM/DOM if you need monitoring. Consider testing a sample in your intended hardware before large-scale deployment to verify compatibility and performance.
