BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-IX-BO Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 1m maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-IX-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1‑metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections. Featuring QSFP form-factor plugs on both ends, this cable provides low-latency, high-throughput links between compatible switches, servers and storage systems in data centres and high-performance computing racks. The compact length and hot-pluggable QSFP connectors help maintain tidy cabling and reliable signal integrity for short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

This 1m active optical cable delivers consistent high-speed data transmission with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. The QSFP Male/Male configuration supports straightforward direct connections between QSFP ports without additional transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count. Its short length minimises latency and signal loss for rack-to-rack or in-rack connections while the optical construction keeps heat generation and power draw low.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand-enabled switches and servers in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Short-reach connections inside server racks and between adjacent racks
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and signal integrity are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) Male to Male
• Length: 1 metre
• Media: active optical cable (fibre-based)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnect
• Typical use: short-reach, in-rack and rack-to-rack connections
• Signal characteristics: low latency, high throughput, immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your compatible devices, ensuring the connector latch engages. No separate transceivers or additional cabling are required; the cable provides a direct optical link once inserted. For optimal performance, route the 1m cable without sharp bends and avoid compression to maintain fibre integrity. Verify link status indicators on connected equipment to confirm successful negotiation and data transfer.

Recommendations

Use this 1m QSFP active optical cable for short-distance InfiniBand links within racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain gentle bend radii, keep the cable free from tight bundles that could stress the fibre, and connect to QSFP-compatible ports rated for InfiniBand to ensure proper operation.
