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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-SW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1-meter active optical cable with QSFP male-to-male terminations engineered for high-speed interconnects. Designed for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems. Its single-meter length provides a compact connection for short-reach links while maintaining signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers stable high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss and low latency suitable for InfiniBand networks. The QSFP male connectors enable hot-pluggable installation in compatible ports and ensure a secure physical connection. The optical construction reduces thermal load and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, and the one-meter length helps maintain tidy rack cabling and predictable link performance in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• Short-reach links between servers and storage in high-performance computing clusters
• Low-latency InfiniBand fabric connections for scientific computing and virtualization platforms
• Rerouting or testing network paths within server racks and equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 meter
• Medium: active optical cable (fibre optic)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Performance: designed for low latency and high bandwidth transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-SW-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on your network devices until the connector latches engage. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer if connecting live. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment to preserve optical performance. Verify link status through device indicators or network management software and confirm negotiated link speed and health.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable in environments with compatible QSFP ports and supported InfiniBand profiles. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plug handling and thermal management to ensure sustained high-performance links.
