BlueOptics 00YL668-BO Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 7 m QSFP

The BlueOptics 00YL668-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 7 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed multimode optical links. It supports up to 40 Gbit/s data rates using a QSFP to QSFP connection and is built to the MSA QSFP AOC standard for interoperability with compatible switches, routers and storage systems. The cable integrates transceivers at each end to transmit and receive optical signals over multimode fiber, providing a pre-assembled plug-and-play connection without the need for patching or field termination.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized QSFP-to-QSFP interface that ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with devices supporting QSFP AOCs. Built according to MSA requirements, it includes on-board transmitters and receivers for reliable optical transmission and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) where supported by host hardware. As an AOC, it provides low-latency, EMI-immune optical links and a factory-assembled connection that reduces installation time and maintenance associated with patch cords.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Interconnects between switches and routers supporting QSFP AOC
• Storage system links requiring multimode 40 Gbit/s connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Connector type: QSFP (male) to QSFP (male)
• Length: 7 meters
• Nominal data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4 protocol compatibility)
• Standard compliance: QSFP AOC (MSA) and designed to meet common industry safety and environmental regulations
• Integrated features: on-board transmitters and receivers; digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 00YL668-BO by inserting the QSFP connectors into the QSFP ports of the source and target devices, ensuring that the host devices support QSFP AOCs and the 40GBASE-SR4 protocol. No field termination or fiber patching is required. If digital diagnostics monitoring is needed, verify that the connected hardware exposes DDM/DOM parameters. Route the pre-assembled cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the target hardware and firmware before deployment, check that the QSFP ports support AOC modules and DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required, and avoid tight bending or excessive pulling; follow rack and cable management best practices to maintain optical performance over time.
