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

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-10M-NG-BO — QSFP to QSFP, 10 m is a 10-metre active optical link engineered for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. The QSFP-to-QSFP AOC delivers optical transmission with low latency and electrical transparency over a 10 m span, enabling direct connectivity between InfiniBand or compatible QSFP ports without additional transceivers. The cable is intended for use in dense data centre environments where reliable, high-bandwidth connections are required for fabric extension and cluster interconnects.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides reduced signal attenuation and minimal crosstalk compared with long passive copper links, maintaining high throughput and low latency for demanding applications. Its QSFP-to-QSFP form factor simplifies installation by eliminating separate transceivers and fibre patching, reducing rack port usage and cable bulk. At 10 metres length the cable offers flexible placement options between racks or within large server arrays while preserving signal integrity and consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Data centre fabric extension between switches and leaf/spine architectures
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects requiring low latency
• Direct links between servers and storage systems with QSFP ports
• Short-reach optical connections in rack-to-rack or adjacent-room layouts

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP optical active cable
• Length: 10 metres
• Transmission: Active optical with electrical transparency
• Latency: Low-latency design suitable for InfiniBand and high-performance fabrics
• Application environment: Data centres, server rooms, HPC clusters

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network switches, servers or storage nodes. Ensure ports are powered and that the host devices support QSFP AOC connectivity; driver or firmware compatibility may be required on some platforms. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it to cable management points as needed. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed on the connected devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends (respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius) and protect the cable from excessive pull force. Use this 10 m QSFP AOC for short-reach optical links inside data centre aisles or between adjacent racks when low latency and reduced port footprint are priorities. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules in product documentation before deployment.
