BlueOptics 06198-BO cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 5 m QSFP laranja

The BlueOptics 06198-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed connections in data centers and network environments. It supports 40G data transmission over multimode fibre and uses an active QSFP-to-QSFP configuration with transmitter and receiver modules integrated at each end. The male-to-male QSFP interface follows MSA conventions for mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible QSFP ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics 5 m InfiniBand AOC provides a pre-assembled fibre link that reduces the need for patching and manual connector cleaning. The active design integrates optical transmitters and receivers to support reliable 40G transmission over short distances with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The cable is produced to industry MSA-compatible specifications and is intended to be a functional equivalent to established 40G QSFP AOC products for use in supported hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch connections requiring 40G InfiniBand or Ethernet links
• Short-reach interconnects in storage and SAN environments

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male/male)
• Transmission: 40G-capable active optical cable using multimode fibre
• Form factor: QSFP active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transmit/receive modules
• Application: Supports Ethernet, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel over Ethernet short-reach links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on networking equipment or servers, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Verify that the host devices support QSFP AOC links and the required 40G protocol. After connection, check link status indicators on the devices to confirm active link negotiation and data transfer. For diagnostics, enable any available digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) features in host hardware if supported to view real-time operational parameters.

Recommendations

Handle the active optical cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable. Ensure QSFP ports are powered and compatible with active AOC modules before installation. Where available, use the host system’s diagnostic features to monitor optical power and temperature. Store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
