Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-F5-BO 10 m, QSFP para QSFP

CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-F5-BO is a 10 m active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP connectors at both ends, engineered for high-speed interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. The cable integrates active optical components to deliver optical transmission without external transceivers, reducing rack space and simplifying link deployment. Its QSFP-to-QSFP design supports direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections where a 10 m fiber AOC is required, offering a compact and reliable alternative to copper or discrete transceiver plus patch cable assemblies.

Advantages

The active optical design provides low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission over a 10 m reach while minimizing electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with long copper assemblies. Integrated QSFP connectors at both ends eliminate the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying installation and inventory. The cable’s optical medium ensures stable signal integrity across data center environments and scales well for dense port deployments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within racks or across adjacent racks
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput links without external transceivers

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Length: 10 m
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Transmission medium: optical fiber with integrated active components
• Design focus: low latency and high bandwidth for data center and HPC use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment until the connector latches. Ensure equipment is powered down or that hot-swap support is available per the device manufacturer’s instructions before insertion or removal. Verify link status indicators on both ends after connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

To maintain signal integrity and service life, route the cable with a bend radius larger than the manufacturer’s minimum specification, keep the connector dust caps until installation, and avoid running the AOC alongside high-power electrical cables for long distances. Check compatibility with your QSFP ports and firmware-supported link speeds before deployment.
