BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-HW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC10M-HW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male is a 10‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors designed for 40G data transmission in data centres and high‑performance network environments. The pre‑assembled multi‑mode optical link includes transceivers at both ends and follows MSA standards to ensure physical compatibility with hardware that supports QSFP 40GBASE‑SR4 interfaces. The cable is intended to provide low attenuation, immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable throughput for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 40 Gbit/s over its 10 m length.

Advantages

The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords and simplifying installation. Compliance with MSA specifications and component selection from established manufacturers contribute to consistent performance and long operational lifetime. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support provides real‑time status information such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power, and temperature for easier troubleshooting and remote monitoring. The AOC format reduces signal loss and maintenance compared with discrete patch‑cord and transceiver combinations.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP‑H40G‑AOC10M‑HW‑BO by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices being connected. Ensure that the host hardware explicitly supports QSFP 40GBASE‑SR4 AOC modules and, where required, that the DDM/DOM feature is available and enabled to read diagnostic parameters. Handle the connectors carefully to avoid contaminating the optical interfaces and observe standard ESD precautions when working inside equipment racks. No separate transceivers or patchcord polishing is required because the optical link is pre‑assembled and factory terminated.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your hardware vendor documentation before installation. Keep connector endfaces protected until insertion, route the cable to avoid tight bends, and allow sufficient airflow around equipment to maintain operating temperature. Use DDM/DOM readings for proactive monitoring and diagnostics where supported by the host systems.
