BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 3 m QSFP uros

The BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-3M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m QSFP Male is a 3‑metre active optical cable designed to provide high-speed, low-latency links between QSFP ports. Engineered for data centers and high-performance computing setups, this cable supports reliable short‑reach connectivity with the electrical and optical characteristics required for InfiniBand interconnects. Its compact QSFP male connectors and flexible cable jacket simplify routing in rack and server environments while maintaining signal integrity for demanding applications.

Advantages

This 3 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers high bandwidth capacity and low latency suitable for clustered servers and storage arrays. The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper links, allowing closer port spacing and improved airflow. Its factory-terminated QSFP male connectors ensure consistent performance and eliminate in-field terminations or polishing. The cable’s flexibility and standardized QSFP form factor make it compatible with many switches, servers, and adapters that accept QSFP interfaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP-equipped servers and switches in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and inter-node links
• Storage area networks and high-throughput storage systems
• Short-reach InfiniBand connections within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible QSFP
• Designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links
• Jacket: flexible optical cable jacket for tight routing

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP InfiniBand interfaces and that devices are powered down or ports are prepared according to equipment vendor guidance. Align the QSFP male connectors with the QSFP ports and insert gently until the connector latch engages. After connection, verify link status using the host or switch management tools and check for expected data rates and error counts. For removal, disengage the latch and pull straight to avoid stressing the cable or connectors.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Route the cable to minimize mechanical stress and avoid exposure to high temperatures or sharp edges. Use in environments with compatible QSFP InfiniBand ports and verify firmware or driver requirements on networking equipment for optimal interoperability.
