CBO InfiniBand aktiivinen optinen kaapeli QSFP-AOC-2M-IA-BO — 2 m QSFP-QSFP

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-IA-BO — 2 m QSFP-to-QSFP is a 2‑metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors engineered for high-speed connections between servers, switches and storage devices. The cable converts electrical signals to optical transmission to enable reliable data transfer between compatible QSFP ports over a short rack- or row-level distance. Designed for environments that require low latency and high throughput, it reduces electromagnetic interference and simplifies cabling in dense installations.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers greater signal integrity and longer reach than equivalent copper direct-attach cables while keeping a compact QSFP form factor. Low latency and immunity to EMI ensure stable high-bandwidth links in congested data center environments. The 2 m length offers flexibility for top-of-rack and in-rack connections without excess slack, and QSFP-to-QSFP compatibility supports common InfiniBand and Ethernet QSFP ports used in modern networking and HPC equipment.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Top-of-rack and in-rack server-to-switch links
• Storage arrays and SAN connections with QSFP interfaces
• Data center deployments needing EMI-resistant cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (QSFP-to-QSFP)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Suitable protocols: InfiniBand and compatible QSFP network protocols
• Performance characteristics: Low latency, high bandwidth optical transmission
• Physical features: Compact form factor for dense cabling

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages. Verify both devices recognize the link and configure network settings as required by your switch, server or storage platform. Avoid excessive bending of the optical cable near the connectors and maintain a clean environment to prevent contamination of optical interfaces. If hot-pluggable, insert or remove the cable following the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent port damage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 2 m AOC for connections within racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and EMI immunity are priorities. Keep connector end faces clean and route the cable to avoid tight bends; follow device vendor guidance for QSFP port handling and firmware/settings that affect link speed and compatibility.
