BlueOptics 00YL652-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP

The BlueOptics 00YL652-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP is a 3 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed data links. It supports short-range multi-mode fibre transmission up to 40 Gbps per link using SR4/InfiniBand-compatible signalling. The cable integrates transceivers on both ends to send and receive optical signals, providing a pre-assembled, factory-terminated connection for servers, switches and storage systems that accept QSFP AOCs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC is manufactured to MSA-aligned QSFP specifications and is tested for compatibility with major hardware platforms that support similar 40G AOCs. Built with quality optical components, it offers stable data transmission, immunity to electromagnetic interference and a low-latency optical link. The pre-terminated design eliminates the need for field splicing or patching and reduces insertion loss compared with multiple connectorized links.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centre topologies
• High-speed server-to-switch links in rack and cluster environments
• Storage system connections and SAN fabrics using Fibre Channel over Ethernet or InfiniBand
• Short-range interconnects where 3 m fibre runs are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable) male at both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbps (SR4/InfiniBand-compatible operation)
• Fibre type: Multi-mode fibre (designed for short-range optical transmission)
• Diagnostic support: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 (when supported by host hardware)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 3 m QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated fully and that the host devices support QSFP AOC modules and the targeted 40G SR4/InfiniBand protocol. Verify link status and SFP/QSFP diagnostics in the host system management interface. Avoid tight bends near the connector and route the cable to prevent mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Confirm host compatibility and enable DDM/DOM in device settings if you require real-time monitoring. Keep the connector dust covers on until installation and maintain bend radius guidelines for multi-mode fibre. For critical links, test the AOC in your hardware platform to validate interoperability and diagnostics behavior before deploying to production.
