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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects. It provides a direct optical link for short-reach connections inside racks and between adjacent network equipment. The cable is intended for data centre and enterprise networking environments where stable, low-latency, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP active optical cable offers reliable optical transmission with QSFP male connectors at both ends, reducing the need for transceivers and simplifying installation. Its 1 m length minimizes signal loss and is suitable for short connections between switches, servers and storage nodes. The cable is designed to support high data rates typical of InfiniBand deployments while maintaining consistent connectivity in dense rack configurations.

Suitable for

• High-performance InfiniBand interconnects inside racks
• Interconnects between adjacent network switches and servers
• Short-reach connections in data centre and enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Intended application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages. Use the 1 m length for short, direct links between equipment in the same rack or adjacent racks. No separate transceivers are required; the active optical cable integrates the necessary optical components. Handle the cable by the connector housing and avoid tight bends to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For stable operation, verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC connections and ensure ports are powered and configured for InfiniBand operation. Avoid routing the cable near sources of electromagnetic interference and respect manufacturers' minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
