Cavo ottico attivo BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s, Infiniband HDR, 10 m

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s, Infiniband HDR, 10 m is a factory-terminated fiber interconnect designed for high-performance networking environments. The cable integrates QSFP56 electrical connectors with an optical link to deliver up to 200 Gb/s aggregate throughput over a 10-metre duplex optical assembly. It is intended for use between compatible QSFP56 ports in switches, adapters and servers where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC combines the compact form factor of QSFP56 connectors with the signal integrity and reach benefits of optical transmission. The pre-terminated, plug-and-play design reduces installation time and eliminates the need for field splicing or transceiver modules. Built for Infiniband HDR environments, the cable supports consistent low-latency performance and is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both endpoints have compatible QSFP56 ports and support the required data rate and protocol (Infiniband HDR or 200 Gb/s interfaces). With devices powered down or following the vendor's hot-plug guidance, insert each QSFP56 plug into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify link status via the host or switch management interface and confirm negotiated speed and lane configuration. For removal, follow the device manufacturer's release procedure to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Install the cable in racks and cable trays with gentle bends; avoid sharp kinks and minimum bend radius violations. Maintain adequate airflow around equipment and avoid routing the AOC near high-heat sources. Use manufacturer-approved ports and firmware to ensure compatibility with Infiniband HDR or 200 Gb/s Ethernet features.
