BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-LC-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 1m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-1M-LC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m Male/Male is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency data connections in data centres and high-performance computing environments. Featuring QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand interconnects and is designed for short-reach links between switches, servers and storage hardware. The single-metre length reduces excess slack and helps maintain tidy rack installations while providing the optical performance required for demanding networking tasks.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and signal integrity suitable for InfiniBand networks. Its fixed 1 m length simplifies cable management and reduces insertion loss typical for longer copper runs. The use of optical transmission lowers electromagnetic interference and improves signal consistency over equivalent copper solutions. Connectors on both ends are matched to QSFP ports to ensure secure mechanical fit and stable optical alignment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between network switches
• Server-to-switch links in rack-mounted systems
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand
• Typical use: short-reach, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your devices and gently insert until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer if supported. After connection, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and link integrity in the network management software.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor for optical assemblies. Use cable management panels or ties to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain airflow in racks. For compatibility, confirm that connected devices support QSFP AOC modules and InfiniBand signalling before deployment.
