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

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-30M-MV-BO is a 30 metre active optical link with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed InfiniBand server, switch and storage interconnects. The cable integrates optical transceivers within the assembly, enabling direct QSFP-to-QSFP connections without separate SFP/QSFP modules. With a 30 m reach, it supports rack-to-rack and appliance connectivity in data centre environments where low latency and high throughput are important.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces signal loss over longer distances compared to copper cables while maintaining the small form factor and plug-and-play convenience of QSFP connectors. Built to meet InfiniBand electrical and optical signalling requirements, the cable offers predictable performance for latency-sensitive applications. Its single-cable solution eliminates the need for additional transceivers and simplifies cabling management in dense racks.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack links
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server interconnects
• Storage appliance connectivity requiring high bandwidth and low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 m
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Form factor: Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) interface
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre with integrated optical modules
• Typical use: rack-to-rack and appliance connectivity in data centres

How to use

Install the QSFP-AOC-30M-MV-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on switches, servers or storage appliances. Ensure that the equipment ports support QSFP-based InfiniBand links and are powered down or hot-swap compatible according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines when connecting. After seating both ends, verify link status on connected devices and confirm negotiated link speed and lane configuration through system management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow minimum bend radius guidelines for optical assemblies. Use in environments with controlled ambient conditions typical for data centres. Verify compatibility with your InfiniBand host and switch firmware and transceiver policies before deployment.
