CBO InfiniBand cavo ottico attivo QSFP-AOC-5M-EE-BO — QSFP+ su QSFP+, lunghezza 5 m

CBO InfiniBand active optical cable QSFP-AOC-5M-EE-BO is a 5-meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed InfiniBand links in data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable uses optical transmission to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between QSFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage systems. Its 5 m length and compact QSFP+ form factor make it suitable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack interconnects where reliable, interference-free signal transmission is required.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides extended reach compared with copper direct-attach cables while maintaining low latency and high throughput. Optical signaling reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense rack environments. Being a QSFP+ to QSFP+ AOC, this cable offers a plug-and-play solution with low power consumption and predictable signal performance over the specified 5 m distance. Its compact connectors and flexible cable assembly simplify routing in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack and intra-rack InfiniBand connections
• High-performance computing clusters and compute nodes
• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage arrays
• Data center environments requiring low-latency optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Length: 5 meters
• Transmission medium: active optical fiber
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Performance: low-latency, high-bandwidth optical transmission
• Operating environment: designed for data center and HPC use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP+ connector into compatible QSFP+ ports on networking equipment, ensuring connectors are fully seated and retention mechanisms are engaged. No additional configuration is required for basic link establishment; the AOC presents to devices as a standard QSFP+ link and uses the host equipment transceivers and port settings. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and verify link status through the host devices' management interfaces after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius and keep the optical connector endfaces clean. Use this 5 m QSFP+ AOC where optical reach and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required; for shorter, low-cost connections in the same rack consider verified copper direct-attach options if compatible with your system.
