BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-FR-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 7 m uros/uros

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-FR-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7‑metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency connections in data centre and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand links between switches, servers and storage systems while maintaining signal integrity over a seven metre reach. The design is intended to simplify short-reach interconnects where copper is inadequate or where optical isolation and EMI immunity are required.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and reduced latency compared with equivalent copper assemblies, while consuming less rack space and avoiding the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The integrated design reduces insertion points and potential points of failure, and the optical medium provides improved electromagnetic immunity and stable performance across the specified length. The robust QSFP connectors ensure secure mating and predictable link behaviour in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting InfiniBand switches and nodes in HPC clusters
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links in data centres
• Short-reach optical connections where EMI immunity is required
• High-bandwidth, low-latency fabric connections in compute racks

Key specifications

• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand
• Application: Short-reach data centre and HPC interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your switch, server or storage device until the connector latches. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines recommended by your hardware vendor. After connection, verify link status and performance through your host or switch management interface. Use cable routing practices that avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain bend radii within the manufacturer’s guidelines, avoid kinking, and secure the cable to prevent strain on the QSFP connectors. Confirm compatibility with your InfiniBand hardware and firmware versions before deployment and monitor link health during initial operation.
