CBO InfiniBand aktiivinen optinen kaapeli QSFP-AOC-30M-EE-BO 30 m

The CBO InfiniBand active optical cable QSFP-AOC-30M-EE-BO 30 m is a factory-terminated QSFP-based active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects over a 30 meter distance. The integrated QSFP transceivers convert electrical signals to optical and back, enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth links with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cables. This 30 m optical AOC is intended for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments where reliable server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connectivity is required.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides consistent signal integrity at longer reaches while keeping power consumption and weight low. Integrated optical conversion within the QSFP modules removes the need for separate transceivers and simplifies installation. The cable reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports dense rack deployments by offering a flexible, thin-profile connection compared to bulky copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch InfiniBand links in data centers and HPC clusters
• Switch-to-switch high-bandwidth interconnects within a single room or between adjacent rooms
• Racks requiring low-latency, high-throughput connections over a 30 m distance

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP active optical cable
• Length: 30 meters
• Signal type: Optical with integrated electrical-to-optical conversion
• Target interface: InfiniBand-compatible QSFP ports
• Performance: Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency links suitable for data center and HPC use
• Physical: Lightweight, thin-profile cable assembly for dense installations

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. No separate transceiver modules are required since the optical conversion is integrated. Verify link status on both devices and confirm supported data rates and protocols are enabled in system settings. Handle the cable to avoid sharp bends and protect connector endfaces from contamination by keeping dust caps on until final insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid tight bends and physical strain, and maintain a clean environment at connector interfaces. Confirm compatibility with device QSFP port firmware and link configuration before deployment. Where possible, test the link at required data rates in a controlled environment prior to production use.
