CBO InfiniBand aktiivinen optinen kaapeli QSFP-AOC-10M-NA-BO — 10 m QSFP-QSFP

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-10M-NA-BO — 10 m QSFP to QSFP is a 10-metre active optical link with QSFP connectors at both ends, engineered for high-speed interconnects in data centres and high performance computing (HPC) environments. The cable integrates transceiver electronics and optical fibres in a single assembly to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between switches, servers and storage systems while retaining a compact QSFP form factor and a plug-and-play installation workflow.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, enabling reliable multi-gigabit transmission over longer distances. QSFP connector compatibility provides a compact footprint and broad interoperability with QSFP ports on modern networking equipment. As a pre-terminated, factory-tested assembly, the cable simplifies rack deployments and reduces installation time while preserving consistent optical performance and low latency for demanding data centre applications.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and inter-node links
• Top-of-rack and spine switch interconnects in data centres
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections requiring low latency
• Storage area networks and high-throughput storage arrays

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Media type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for time-sensitive traffic
• Compatibility: supports QSFP ports on switches, servers and storage devices
• Installation: plug-and-play, pre-terminated assembly

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the networking devices until the latch engages. No external transceivers or fibre termination are required because the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable assembly. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm operational parameters such as link speed and equalisation through host or switch management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fibres.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, handle the QSFP connectors by the housing, avoid excessive twisting and maintain bend radii above the specification. Use this active optical cable in environments with compatible QSFP ports and verify device firmware and port settings for optimal interoperability in multi-vendor systems.
