Cavo AOC BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M-CT-BO 50m QSFP connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M-CT-BO is a 50 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors on both ends. Designed for 40GBASE-SR4 applications, this pre-terminated multimode AOC integrates transmitters and receivers in each QSFP module to support high-speed optical links up to 40 Gbit/s across a 50-meter span. The cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP specifications and is intended for direct QSFP-to-QSFP interconnects in data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The AOC provides full-duplex optical transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, eliminating the need for patching and frequent connector cleaning. Components are selected to meet MSA requirements and industry-grade performance, supporting digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time link parameters. The pre-assembled design simplifies installation and reduces insertion loss compared with multiple connectorized links.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the latch engages. Confirm that connected hardware supports 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the host device firmware to access diagnostic data. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber during routing. Use appropriate cable management to prevent stress on the QSFP modules and ensure stable link performance.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility with QSFP AOCs and check that the host devices support DDM/DOM if you need real-time diagnostics. Keep the QSFP connectors capped when not in use and route the cable to avoid tight bends or mechanical strain to preserve signal integrity and product lifetime.
