CBO InfiniBand Active Optical -kaapeli QSFP-AOC-10M-FR-BO 10 m

The CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-10M-FR-BO 10 m is a QSFP form-factor active optical link designed for short-reach high-speed InfiniBand connections. This 10-metre AOC integrates optical transceivers and a fiber cable in a single plug-and-play assembly to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between QSFP ports without the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules. It is intended for use in data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters and storage networks where reliable signal integrity and reduced cable bulk are important.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high signal quality over 10 metres while minimizing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives. Built-in optical transceivers remove the need for separate modules, simplifying installation and inventory. The QSFP form factor supports dense port configurations and the integrated assembly reduces cable management complexity. The plug-and-play design allows immediate operation after insertion into compatible QSFP ports, helping to shorten deployment time.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Storage area network (SAN) and server-to-switch links
• Low-latency, high-throughput InfiniBand fabrics

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP integrated plug (QSFP form factor)
• Length: 10 metres
• Media: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Intended application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Performance: designed for low-latency, high-bandwidth links over short reach
• Compatibility: fits standard QSFP ports on switches, NICs and directors that accept QSFP AOCs

How to use

Install the CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-FR-BO by aligning the QSFP plug with the device port and inserting until it latches. No separate transceiver installation is required. Verify link status in the host device operating system or switch management interface; the cable is designed to be operational immediately when inserted into compatible QSFP ports. For safe removal, follow device-specific hot-swap or electrostatic discharge procedures and depress the latch before withdrawing the cable.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for fiber assemblies. Use in environments and equipment rated for QSFP AOC operation, and ensure firmware or driver compatibility on network adapters and switches where necessary. For best signal reliability, avoid running the cable alongside high-power copper conductors and follow standard data center cable management practices.
