CBO InfiniBand Active Optical -kaapeli QSFP-AOC-2M-LS-BO — 2 m

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-LS-BO — 2 m is a dual-ended QSFP form-factor active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-speed connections between servers, switches and storage systems. The 2-metre cable converts electrical QSFP ports to optical transmission to deliver low-latency, EMI-immune links suitable for dense data centre and high-performance computing deployments. The product supports InfiniBand environments where predictable latency, signal integrity and compact cabling are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and enables longer reach over fiber compared with copper equivalents while maintaining QSFP compatibility. The QSFP form factor provides a compact connection for high port-density switch panels and server NICs. Low latency and optical transmission characteristics help preserve signal fidelity for high-throughput applications. The cable’s build is intended for plug-and-play installation and reliable operation in rack and cabinet environments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre switch-to-switch and server-to-switch interconnects
• Storage area network links requiring low latency
• Environments where EMI immunity and compact cabling are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (dual-ended)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 m
• Medium: Optical fiber
• Application: Short-reach high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand)
• Characteristic: Low latency, EMI resistant

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages. No additional transceivers or external power supplies are required beyond the host devices’ QSFP ports. Verify link status on the connected equipment and confirm negotiated speed and lane configuration according to your InfiniBand switch or adapter documentation. Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid tight bends near the termination to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable in environments within the host equipment’s specified temperature and humidity ranges, avoid sharp bends or kinks, and route the cable to prevent excessive strain on the QSFP connectors. Confirm firmware and driver compatibility for the InfiniBand host adapters and switches to ensure full feature support and optimal link performance.
