BlueOptics QSFP-40G-1M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-1M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with Male-to-Male QSFP connectors designed for 40G data links. It implements 40GBASE-SR4 signalling over multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers on both ends, providing a pre-assembled, plug-and-play optical connection for switches, routers, storage systems and other networking hardware that accept QSFP 40G AOCs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC follows MSA-compliant QSFP specifications to deliver 40 Gbps full-duplex throughput over a short-reach multimode fibre link while avoiding electromagnetic interference. The pre-terminated QSFP-to-QSFP design removes the need for separate transceivers and fibre patching, reducing installation errors and insertion loss. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support allows real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature when supported by host hardware. The cable is built with high-quality laser and IC components to provide extended service life and high availability.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-1M-RC-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support QSFP AOCs and, if you require digital diagnostics, confirm DDM/DOM support in the host hardware and enable monitoring through the device management interface. No additional patch cords or transceivers are required. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the recommended bend radius for multimode optical cables to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific hardware model and firmware version prior to deployment. Use the 1 m AOC for short-reach intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where 40GBASE-SR4 multimode performance is required. Keep connectors clean and store the cable in a dust-free environment when not in use. For diagnostic information, access the host device monitoring interface to read DDM/DOM parameters if supported.
