Aktiivinen optinen InfiniBand-kaapeli CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-ZA-BO 10 m QSFP+ - QSFP+

Active Optical InfiniBand Cable CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-ZA-BO is a 10 m QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable designed for high-performance data centre interconnects. The cable uses active optical technology to maintain signal integrity over the 10-metre link between QSFP+ ports, providing low latency and high bandwidth for InfiniBand environments. It is intended for direct QSFP+ port connections between switches, servers and storage enclosures where electrical passive copper links are impractical due to distance or electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable delivers reliable high-speed connections while reducing electrical signal loss and avoiding the need for repeaters or additional transceivers. Active optical construction enables consistent data throughput over the full 10 m length and reduces heat and power issues compared with long copper assemblies. QSFP+ to QSFP+ connectors provide native compatibility with equipment that supports QSFP+ form-factor ports.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack high-bandwidth links in data centres
• Chassis-to-chassis connections in InfiniBand fabrics
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch direct links
• Low-latency interconnects where copper cabling is not suitable

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: Active optical cable
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand and other QSFP+ supported high-speed protocols
• Typical use: Data centre interconnects, rack and chassis connections
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high bandwidth links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure both ports are QSFP+ capable and that device firmware or drivers support active optical cables and the chosen protocol. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. After connection, verify link status on the devices and check for expected throughput and latency within your network management tools.

Recommendations

Handle the active optical cable by the connector housings and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use this cable for runs where 10 m length is required and where reduced electromagnetic interference and lower heat generation are desired compared with copper alternatives. Confirm compatibility with your QSFP+ ports and firmware to ensure full functionality.
