BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-RW-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-RW-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, low-latency connections between networking equipment. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this male-to-male cable supports short-reach links in data centers, server-to-switch connections and other environments that require reliable, high-bandwidth optical interconnects.

Advantages

This cable provides stable, high-bandwidth data transmission with the signal integrity benefits of optical media and the convenience of an integrated active optical solution. Its 1 m length minimises excess cabling in rack and cabinet installations while providing predictable latency and improved electromagnetic immunity compared to copper alternatives. QSFP connector compatibility ensures straightforward integration with devices that accept QSFP optical interfaces.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand networks
• Short-reach optical interconnects within racks and between adjacent cabinets
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported application: InfiniBand and fibre optic high-speed links
• Physical form: Fixed-length duplex optical link with integrated transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP plug into the appropriate QSFP optical port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure both endpoints are powered and that device firmware or driver support for QSFP AOC modules is enabled. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by your equipment vendor. Verify link status through device diagnostics or management software to confirm an active optical connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 1 m QSFP active optical cable in short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent cabinets. Avoid excessive bending and exposure to mechanical strain. Confirm compatibility with your switches or host adapters that support QSFP optical modules and check device documentation for any firmware or driver requirements prior to deployment.
