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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-AOC-2M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2m Male/Male is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors, designed for 40G high-speed links in data centers and networking racks. The cable uses active optical components to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, enabling reliable 40 Gigabit-per-second connections over multimode fiber for short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and host adapters.

Advantages

This QSFP AOC provides native QSFP form-factor connectivity with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, delivering consistent 40G performance while reducing electromagnetic interference and power dissipation compared with equivalent copper solutions. The fixed 2 m length simplifies cabling in dense rack environments and helps maintain predictable signal performance. The product follows QSFP/MSA physical and electrical expectations for direct QSFP-to-QSFP links in supported platforms.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on supported devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 40G operation and that the platform supports QSFP AOC modules. Avoid sharp bends in the cable and maintain the 2 m routing between devices to preserve optical performance. If the link does not establish, verify port configuration and compatibility with the host device’s supported AOC modules.

Recommendations

Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; keep the cable away from sources of excessive heat. Use in environments and on hardware platforms that explicitly support QSFP AOC modules and 40GBASE/SR4 or equivalent protocols to ensure interoperability and stable operation.
