BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M-RW-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-50M-RW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m Male/Male is a short-reach active optical cable designed for high-throughput links in data center and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP connectors on both ends and a 1 metre length, this cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems where InfiniBand connectivity is required. The male-to-male configuration ensures straightforward installation into QSFP ports without additional adapters.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high data transmission capacity and electrical isolation typical of fibre solutions while maintaining the convenience of a direct-attach form factor. The 1 m length reduces signal loss and latency for short interconnects and simplifies cable management in dense rack setups. QSFP connectors provide standardized mechanical and electrical compatibility for equipment that supports InfiniBand QSFP interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Interconnects between storage arrays and compute nodes
• Rack-level network topology with dense QSFP port deployments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Interface standard: InfiniBand-compatible QSFP form factor
• Intended use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data links

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices, ensuring the connector latches are aligned and fully seated. No additional transceivers are required because the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends. After installation, verify link status on connected devices and confirm expected data rates and link health through your network management tools. For removal, depress the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use the cable within recommended bend radius limits and avoid tight bends or crushing forces. Keep the connector dust caps in place when the cable is not mated to protect optical interfaces. For optimal performance, deploy this 1 m QSFP AOC in short, direct connections inside racks or between adjacent racks and verify compatibility with your equipment's InfiniBand QSFP ports and firmware requirements.
