BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP30M-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 30 m QSFP aqua

The BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP30M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30 m QSFP Aqua is a 30-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand links. It features QSFP male connectors on both ends, supporting 40 Gbps class data transmission for interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing racks. The aqua colour coding provides fast visual identification for structured cable runs and helps maintain organised patching between switches, servers and storage arrays.

Advantages

This QSFP-to-QSFP active optical cable offers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity with minimal electromagnetic interference since it uses optical transmission rather than copper. The integrated transceivers reduce the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules and simplify installation. Its factory-terminated design ensures consistent performance across the full 30 m length and the aqua jacket helps with colour-coded infrastructure management.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack InfiniBand links in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and server farms
• Direct QSFP to QSFP connections between switches, routers and storage nodes
• Environments requiring organised, colour-coded cable management

Key specifications

• Length: 30 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Data rate class: 40 Gbps-class InfiniBand connectivity
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Jacket colour: Aqua for easy identification
• Low latency optical transmission suitable for short to medium structured links

How to use

Verify QSFP port compatibility on both devices before installation. Route the cable through the rack or cable management pathways, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress. Align the QSFP connectors with the port openings and insert until the latch engages. Confirm link status on connected devices and monitor for expected data rates. When removing the cable, release the connector latch and pull straight to avoid damaging the transceiver housings.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m QSFP AOC for short to medium distance InfiniBand connections within and between racks. Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, keep the aqua cable visible for quick identification, and avoid exposure to excessive heat or sharp edges to preserve optical performance and cable longevity.
