BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m QSFP Male is a 1-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects between network devices that accept QSFP form-factor modules. It supports InfiniBand and fiber-optic links, providing a compact, low-latency connection suitable for dense rack and data center environments. The cable features male QSFP connectors on both ends to ensure a reliable physical interface for compatible switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This 1m QSFP male active optical cable offers high bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its short length minimizes signal loss and latency for intra-rack connections. The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate pluggable modules, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The cable's QSFP male connectors provide a secure mechanical fit and consistent performance across compatible equipment.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Top-of-rack and intra-rack switch-to-server connections
• Low-latency storage networking and SAN links
• Data center interconnects where compact, high-density cabling is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and fiber-optic high-speed links
• Intended use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Typical deployment: Rack and data center environments

How to use

Connect each QSFP male end to QSFP-compatible ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper orientation and firm seating of the connectors. No additional transceivers are required since the optical interface is integrated into the cable assembly. After connection, verify link status and speed through the device management interface and monitor for signal integrity. For safe handling, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable.

Recommendations

Use this 1m QSFP AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Maintain bend radius guidelines, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and verify compatibility with the QSFP ports on your switches, servers or storage gear before deployment.
