BlueOptics QSFP-40G-2M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m OSFP QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-2M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed interconnects. It uses QSFP to QSFP/OSFP-compatible male connectors and supports multimode transmission for 40GBASE-SR4 class applications. The cable integrates transmitters and receivers on each end, enabling optical signal transfer with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. It is intended for rack, switch and server connections in data centers and other professional networking environments.

Advantages

This 2 m BlueOptics AOC provides a standardized QSFP form-factor connection compatible with MSA-compliant ports and is optimized for short-reach 40 Gbps links. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate modules and fiber patch cables, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The multimode design supports common short-range protocols such as 40GBASE-SR4 and is suitable for dense switch-to-switch or switch-to-server topologies where predictable performance and signal integrity are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support QSFP form-factor AOCs and the required 40G link standard (for example 40GBASE-SR4 or compatible InfiniBand ports). With active equipment powered down or following hot-swap procedures recommended by the hardware vendor, insert each QSFP/OSFP-compatible male connector into the corresponding port until the latch engages. Power on devices and configure link settings as required by your switch, router or server operating system. Monitor link LED indicators or management interfaces to confirm a stable 40 Gbps connection.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing; avoid pulling the cable by the fiber area. Maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain at the connectors. Ensure firmware and port configurations on connected equipment are up to date and compatible with 40G AOC operation for reliable performance.
