BlueOptics QSFP-40G-50M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m OSFP QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-50M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for 40G high-speed data transmission. It uses QSFP and OSFP-compatible terminated male connectors to provide a direct optical link over multi-mode fibre. The cable implements 40GBASE-SR4-type multimode transmission and includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules at both ends to support short-range, high-bandwidth connections in networking and data centre environments.

Advantages

This 50m AOC offers a compact, low-latency optical connection without the need for separate transceivers, reducing port and power overhead. Its multimode design supports established 40GBASE-SR4 signalling for reliable multi-lane transmission up to 40 Gbit/s. The cable’s factory-integrated transceivers simplify installation and compatibility with equipment that supports QSFP/OSFP male-to-male connections, while the fully assembled optical link reduces failure points compared with discrete connectorised patching.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-50M-RC-BO by inserting the male QSFP/OSFP connectors into the corresponding 40G ports on networking equipment until they latch. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP or OSFP ports that support active optical cable modules and 40GBASE-SR4 or equivalent multimode operation. Verify link status through your equipment’s management interface and perform any required port configuration for 40G operation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension and keep connectors clean before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in short-range multimode environments such as within racks or between adjacent racks and confirm device compatibility with QSFP/OSFP male AOC modules prior to deployment. Maintain multimode fibre cleanliness and avoid tight bend radii to preserve signal integrity and cable lifetime.
