BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M-BC-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M-BC-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male is a short-length active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed links in data center and networking setups. It provides a 1 metre connection intended for low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects where reliable signal integrity and straightforward deployment are required.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable offers plug-and-play installation with QSFP male connectors on both ends, supporting compact deployment in rack and switch environments. The 1 m length reduces excess cabling and helps maintain tidy cable management while minimising signal loss over the short span. The fibre optic design is suitable for high-speed data transfer and offers electrical isolation between connected devices.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-bandwidth links between switches and servers
• InfiniBand interconnects in cluster and HPC systems
• Patch connections within data centre racks
• Connections where QSFP ports are required and a 1 m AOC is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Media: active optical cable (fibre optic)
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed networking

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports before connecting. Align each QSFP male connector with the corresponding port and insert until the connector latches. No additional transceivers or configuration are required for basic connectivity; operating systems and networking equipment will detect the link according to their standard procedures. For removal, depress the connector latch and gently withdraw the plug to avoid stressing the cable or ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable within recommended port orientations and avoid tight bends; maintain the 1 m routing to prevent strain on connectors. Keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and handle the fibre optic ends and connector housings with care to preserve performance.
