Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AT-BO 50 m

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m is a 50-metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed optical links. It implements the 40GBASE-SR4 transmission profile over multimode fibre and integrates optical transmitters and receivers in each connector to deliver full-duplex 40 Gbit/s channels across the assembled cable. The pre-terminated design removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, providing a single-cable QSFP solution for short-reach data centre and networking interconnects.

Advantages

The cable supports 40 Gbit/s link rates using QSFP form-factor connections and is produced to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) QSFP AOC mechanical and electrical standards to ensure interoperability with compatible hardware. As an active optical cable it minimizes electromagnetic interference and eliminates copper cabling constraints, while offering plug-and-play deployment without field termination. The integrated optical components and manufacturer testing aim to provide long operational life and stable optical performance for rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links within data centres
• Direct QSFP-to-QSFP connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Short-reach multimode fibre interconnects requiring 40GBASE-SR4 performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), pre-terminated
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP, male/male
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4 profile)
• Fibre type: multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers
• Compliance: designed to QSFP AOC MSA mechanical/electrical profiles

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC50M-AT-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure that the host hardware supports QSFP AOC modules and the 40GBASE-SR4 profile. No fibre termination or patching is required; use standard hot-plug procedures for QSFP modules and follow device vendor guidelines for enabling 40 Gbit/s ports. If your equipment supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), access the diagnostic interface via the host to monitor real-time parameters where available.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific switch, router or storage platform before deployment. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep connectors clean and protected during installation, and follow vendor instructions for hot-plugging QSFP modules. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable DDM/DOM support in host equipment if available.
