BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-PT-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre environments. This cable supports low-latency links between switches, routers and servers, offering a compact, plug-and-play connection that reduces electrical interference compared with copper alternatives. The 1 m length is suitable for short inter-rack and intra-rack connections where reliable signal integrity and consistent throughput are required.

Advantages

This QSFP-to-QSFP active optical cable provides consistent high-bandwidth performance while minimising signal loss over short distances. Its fibre-based construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The pre-terminated, male-to-male QSFP connectors enable quick installation without field termination, and the cable’s flexible single-segment design supports neat cable management in dense equipment racks.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand links between servers and storage nodes
• Short-distance connections within and between racks in data centres
• Interconnects for switches and routers requiring QSFP ports
• Low-latency compute clusters and HPC environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Media: Fibre optic
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Form factor: Single-segment, pre-terminated

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked. Ensure connectors are fully seated and any retention mechanism on the port is engaged. No field termination or additional transceivers are required; the cable is plug-and-play when used with compatible QSFP ports. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 1 m BlueOptics QSFP AOC for short interconnect distances and avoid routing near sources of mechanical stress or extreme heat. Verify QSFP port compatibility and firmware support on networking equipment before deployment to ensure correct link negotiation and optimal throughput.
