BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male-to-male connectors designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects. Compatible with the 40GBASE-SR4 transmission profile and built to MSA QSFP form-factor standards, this cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers on each end and uses multimode fibre to support data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This 7m AOC provides a ready-to-use, factory-terminated connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector count and potential points of failure. The QSFP male-to-male interface and multimode design deliver support for 40 Gbit/s short-reach links while maintaining signal integrity across the 7-metre span. Compatibility with major Juniper platforms and adherence to MSA QSFP specifications simplify deployment in existing network racks and switch-to-server interconnects.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment such as switches, routers or servers. Ensure the devices are powered down or follow live-insertion procedures recommended by the hardware vendor. Secure cable routing to avoid excessive bending and to maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface to confirm a 40G link.

Recommendations

Use this 7m AOC for short-reach 40G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends, exposure to mechanical strain, and high-temperature environments. Confirm device compatibility and supported port profiles before deployment and consider a test installation to validate operation within your specific Juniper or compatible hardware platform.
