BlueOptics QSFP-40G-10M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10m OSFP QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-10M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short-reach network links. It uses QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors and conforms to QSFP/MSA form-factor expectations for 40G connectivity. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers at each end and is intended for multi-mode fibre operation supporting 40GBASE-SR4 style short-range links and comparable 40 Gbit/s applications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords in short-reach links. The 10 metre length supports flexible rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections within data centre and networking cabinets. With QSFP male connectors and multi-mode optical construction, the cable supports low-latency, high-throughput links while reducing signal conversion points and cable management complexity.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP male connector to the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices, ensuring ports are rated for 40G QSFP interfaces and that the equipment firmware supports active optical cables. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multi-mode optical assemblies. After insertion, verify link status and speed via device management interfaces and perform end-to-end testing if required.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m BlueOptics AOC for short intra-rack or inter-rack connections in controlled data centre environments. Keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and strong EMI, and verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC assemblies when deploying in mixed-vendor environments.
