Verkkokaapeli BlueOptics JL288A-BO QSFP InfiniBand 10 m oranssi

The BlueOptics JL288A-BO QSFP InfiniBand 10 m Orange is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed InfiniBand and multimode fibre applications. The cable implements a QSFP-to-QSFP interface according to MSA standards and integrates a transmitter and receiver at each end to enable simultaneous optical send and receive functionality. Its orange jacket provides easy visual identification in dense cabling environments while the pre-assembled fibre construction reduces the need for patching and manual connector handling.

Advantages

This 10 m BlueOptics AOC supports data rates up to 40 Gbit/s and is suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications where QSFP interfaces are required. Manufactured to MSA-compliant QSFP AOC specifications, the cable is built from quality optical and electronic components to provide stable optical performance, long service life and reduced bit-error risk. The active optics design minimizes attenuation and electromagnetic interference concerns compared with copper solutions.

Suitable for

• High-performance switches with QSFP ports
• Storage systems and SAN interconnects
• Server-to-switch high-bandwidth links in data centers
• Low-latency InfiniBand clusters and HPC applications

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors
• Length: 10 m
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: multimode, integrated transceiver modules (transmit/receive on each end)
• Connector gender: male QSFP on both ends
• Color: orange jacket for easy identification
• Compliance: MSA QSFP AOC mechanical and electrical interface
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM monitoring if host hardware enables the feature

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JL288A-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices until a secure latch is felt. Ensure ports on both devices support QSFP AOC modules and the required protocols (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or InfiniBand). Verify link status on connected equipment and, if available, use digital diagnostic monitoring through the host to check supply voltage, laser bias current, output and receive power and temperature. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius for multimode fibre during routing.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from high-traffic areas and sharp edges, secure with non-compressive cable ties, and confirm that host devices support QSFP AOC modules and DDM/DOM if you intend to use diagnostic features. For consistent performance, follow equipment vendor guidance when replacing or adding active optical cables.
