BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC7M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC7M-HU-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7 m Male/Male is a 7-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectors designed for high-speed links in data center and high-performance computing environments. It implements a multi-mode fibre connection with integrated transmitter and receiver elements on each end to support 40 Gbps applications in systems that accept QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 AOC modules. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor conventions and is intended for direct QSFP port-to-port connections without separate transceivers.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized QSFP-to-QSFP AOC design that reduces space and power compared with separate transceiver plus patch-cord arrangements. Integrated transmitters and receivers at each connector simplify installation and minimize signal conversion losses over the 7 m link. Compatibility with major hardware platforms that accept Huawei QSFP-H40G-AOC7M-HU style 40GBASE-SR4 AOCs enables straightforward replacement or expansion of existing 40 Gbps links. The product supports common high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at aggregate rates up to 40 Gbps.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 AOC connections and that port settings match the intended protocol and speed. Route the 7 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre AOCs. When removing the cable, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility and firmware support with the original QSFP-H40G-AOC7M-HU specification before deployment. Use the cable in temperature-controlled rack environments and avoid exposure to excessive mechanical strain or liquids. For critical links, test the connection after installation to confirm expected throughput and link integrity.
