Cavo ottico attivo BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s, Infiniband HDR, 5 m (MFS1S00-H005V-BO)

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s, Infiniband HDR, 5 m is a factory-terminated multimode AOC designed to deliver 200 Gb/s bidirectional throughput over a 5-meter link. The QSFP56 connector form factor provides four lanes of 50 Gb/s each, enabling direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in high-performance environments. The optical design reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper, while the pre-terminated assembly simplifies installation and eliminates field termination.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable supports high-density deployments with a compact QSFP56 pluggable interface and low latency suitable for Infiniband HDR fabrics. The multimode fiber construction offers stable optical performance across the 5 m length and reduces rack cabling complexity. Being factory-assembled, the cable ensures consistent signal integrity and reliability without on-site polishing or connectorization.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP56 plug into the corresponding QSFP56 port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure the devices are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by your equipment per vendor guidelines. Verify link and lane status via device management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed indicates 200 Gb/s operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable in pairs between QSFP56 ports rated for Infiniband HDR, keep the cable length at the specified 5 m to preserve signal integrity, and avoid excessive bending or compression. Validate compatibility with your switch and host firmware and monitor link status after installation to ensure proper lane aggregation and speed negotiation.
