BlueOptics cabo InfiniBand/fibra ótica 5m QSFP cor aqua 10337-BO

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5m QSFP Aqua colour 10337-BO is a 5 meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments, this aqua-coloured AOC supports 40GBASE-SR4 class multimode optical links and provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play connection between QSFP ports. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers on each end to transfer optical signals over multimode fiber while maintaining compatibility with devices that accept QSFP 40G AOC modules.

Advantages

The 5 m QSFP AOC offers electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while delivering high bandwidth up to 40 Gbit/s on supported platforms. As an assembled active optical cable it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector loss and simplifying installation. The integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) interface provides real-time information such as supply voltage, temperature and optical power levels when supported by host hardware, aiding remote troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Interconnect between QSFP ports on switches and routers within racks or between adjacent racks
• High-speed server-to-switch or storage-to-switch links requiring 40 Gbit/s multimode connectivity
• Data centre uplinks and aggregation layers using QSFP 40G connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (both ends)
• Length: 5 meters
• Transmission class: 40GBASE-SR4 multimode optical link
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Fiber: multimode
• Color: aqua
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (requires host hardware support)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 5 m QSFP AOC by aligning and inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it latches. Ensure host devices support QSFP 40G AOCs and, if required, that DDM/DOM is enabled in the device firmware to access diagnostic values. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive pulling or crushing, and secure it with cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required; the AOC provides an integrated optical link when both ends are connected.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage platform prior to installation and ensure that the device firmware supports third-party AOCs if you need DDM/DOM functionality. Avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies and handle QSFP connectors by the housing to protect the internal optical components.
