Verkkokaapeli BlueOptics JL289A-BO QSFP InfiniBand 20 m oranssi

The BlueOptics JL289A-BO QSFP InfiniBand 20m Orange is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends and a 20 meter length. Designed for high-speed links in data centre and enterprise network environments, this orange multi-mode AOC supports 40G-class transmission standards and provides a pre-assembled fiber connection that reduces the need for patching or additional fibre cleaning. The cable is supplied as a male-to-male QSFP assembly and is intended for direct QSFP-to-QSFP interconnects between switches, routers, storage systems and other QSFP-capable devices that support QSFP AOC modules.

Advantages

This 20 m BlueOptics QSFP AOC offers high signal integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference thanks to its optical transmission medium. The pre-terminated design eliminates manual splicing and patch-cord handling, simplifying installation and reducing potential attenuation points. Built according to MSA-compliant QSFP AOC specifications, the cable includes integrated optical transmitters and receivers on each end and supports digital diagnostic monitoring when the host hardware provides DDM/DOM support. The bright orange jacket improves visibility in dense cabling environments and the lightweight construction eases routing and handling.

Suitable for

• QSFP-to-QSFP links between switches and routers in data centres
• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch interconnects
• Storage system connectivity requiring 40G-class optical links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Connectors: QSFP to QSFP (male to male)
• Transmission medium: active multi-mode optical cable (AOC) with integrated TOSA/ROSA
• Colour: orange jacket for easy identification
• Weight: approximately 0.17 kg

How to use

Verify that the networking devices support QSFP AOC modules and that DDM/DOM functions are enabled if diagnostic monitoring is required. Route the cable through the rack or tray to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. Align and insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats firmly according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Power on connected equipment and confirm link status through switch/router management interfaces; if supported, use DDM/DOM to read supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, prevent exposure to liquids or corrosive substances, and ensure ports are free of debris before insertion. For best operational lifetime, handle the QSFP connectors by their housings, do not pull on the fibre jacket, and verify compatibility with the host hardware to enable full functionality and optional diagnostic features.
