BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 10 m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Male/Male is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectors designed for short-reach, high-speed links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates transmitters and receivers in the QSFP housings and uses multimode fibre to support high-bandwidth protocols, providing a factory-tested connection for equipment that accepts QSFP AOC modules.

Advantages

This AOC provides low-latency, high-throughput transmission over a 10 m length with plug-and-play QSFP connectors conforming to MSA form factors. The integrated optical transceivers at each end remove the need for separate transceiver modules and fibre patching, reducing installation complexity and improving signal integrity. The cable is built for durability and reliable performance in dense rack environments where compact, managed cabling and consistent optical characteristics are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support QSFP AOC modules and the intended 40G or InfiniBand protocol before installation. With devices powered down or in a maintenance window as preferred, insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Power on the systems and confirm link status and negotiated speed through the device management interface or LEDs. For equipment that enforces vendor compatibility checks, ensure the host supports third-party AOC modules.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the specified operating environment and handle QSFP connectors by the housing to avoid contamination of optical interfaces. For reliable performance, keep connector end faces clean and inspect before insertion; avoid repeated mating cycles beyond the rated lifecycle of the module. If interoperability issues arise, verify firmware and device configuration or test the cable in a known-compatible port.
