BlueOptics CBL-QSFP-40GE-7M-F10-BO InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli 7 m uros/uros

The BlueOptics CBL-QSFP-40GE-7M-F10-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 7-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for 40G multi-mode links. Built to industry MSA compatibility, the cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each QSFP end to transfer optical signals over multi-mode fibre and support high-speed networking protocols up to 40 Gbit/s on a 7 m reach. The product is intended for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments where short-reach, low-latency 40G links are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides a plug-and-play QSFP connection that combines both transceiver and fiber in one assembly, removing the need for separate modules and patch cords. Being compatible with Force10 40GBASE-SR4 implementations and other hardware platforms that support the same form factor, it supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications at 40 Gbit/s. The integrated design reduces cage and port footprint, minimizes signal loss compared with many copper alternatives at this distance, and simplifies installation in rack and chassis environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on your networking or storage devices while the equipment is powered according to the vendor guidance. The integrated transceivers are plug-and-play on systems that accept MSA-compatible QSFP AOCs; no separate SFP/QSFP modules or patch cords are required. Confirm port configuration and link settings on connected devices, then verify link status and performance through the switch or host management interface.

Recommendations

Use this 7 m AOC for short-range 40G links inside racks or between adjacent rack rows. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the fibre assembly, maintain recommended bend radius, and install in a clean environment to preserve optical performance. Check device compatibility lists when integrating into specific vendor platforms to ensure full feature support.
