BlueOptics MC2210310-003-BO InfiniBand-/kuituoptinen kaapeli 3 m QSFP

The BlueOptics MC2210310-003-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transfer in data center and networking environments, this male-to-male cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor conventions and is intended for multi-mode fibre links. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to support optical signal transmission for protocols that use QSFP interfaces.

Advantages

This 3 m QSFP active optical cable supports high-bandwidth links up to 40 Gbit/s per the 40GBASE-SR4 profile and is suitable for short-reach multi-mode fibre connections. The integrated transceivers reduce the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules and simplify installation with a direct QSFP-to-QSFP connection. MSA compatibility ensures interoperability with major hardware platforms that support the corresponding 40G AOC specification, providing a compact, low-power solution for dense networking racks.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• High-speed links between storage systems and servers
• Short-reach InfiniBand or Ethernet links using multi-mode fibre
• Fabric connections in clustered computing environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4 profile)
• Fibre type: multi-mode fibre (integrated transceivers)
• Connector gender/configuration: male-to-male QSFP

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and fully seated. Verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC links and enable the appropriate interface/protocol settings on your switches, routers or host adapters. Monitor link status indicators on connected equipment to confirm successful negotiation and data transfer at the expected rate.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m QSFP AOC for short-reach multi-mode links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends in the cable and maintain recommended bend radii for optical fibres. Confirm that connected devices support MSA-compatible 40G QSFP AOCs and the 40GBASE-SR4 profile before deployment.
