InfiniBand-/kuituoptinen kaapeli BlueOptics MC2206310-001-BO 1 m QSFP

The BlueOptics MC2206310-001-BO 1 m QSFP is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic connectivity. Built to meet MSA standards and compatible with major networking hardware that supports QSFP 40G connections, this 1-metre AOC transmits optical signals over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end. It is intended for short-reach, low-latency links in data centre and enterprise network environments where predictable 40 Gbit/s performance is required.

Advantages

This QSFP-to-QSFP active optical cable delivers reliable 40GBASE-SR4-level throughput over a 1-metre link while maintaining low power consumption and minimal signal attenuation. The integrated transceivers simplify installation by eliminating separate SFP/QSFP modules and fibre patching, and the multimode design reduces sensitivity to connector cleanliness compared with single-mode patching at similar reaches. Compatibility with widely used hardware platforms ensures straightforward integration into existing racks and fabric topologies.

Key specifications

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plug procedures as recommended by your networking equipment vendor, then insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until the latch engages. The cable’s integrated modules handle optical conversion and link negotiation automatically; verify link status LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a successful connection. For stacking or upgrading fabric links, replace existing short copper or separate transceiver-plus-patch setups with this AOC to reduce cabling complexity.

Recommendations

Install and remove the cable by holding the QSFP housing rather than pulling on the fiber to avoid strain. Maintain multimode connector cleanliness and avoid sharp bends; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius specification for optical cables. Use this 1 m AOC for short-reach connections within racks or adjacent racks and confirm firmware/driver compatibility on networking equipment when integrating into heterogeneous environments.
