Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-LC-BO 10 m QSFP+ para QSFP+

CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-LC-BO is a 10 m active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP+ connectors on both ends, engineered for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects. The cable uses optical transmission to link QSFP-capable switches, servers and storage systems over a ten-metre span, offering a lightweight alternative to direct-attach copper while maintaining low-latency performance and electrical isolation between connected devices.

Advantages

The active optical design delivers consistent signal integrity at high data rates and reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. At 10 metres, the cable supports flexible rack-to-rack and chassis-to-chassis connections while simplifying cable management thanks to its thinner, lighter construction. Optical transmission provides electrical isolation between endpoints and helps lower thermal load in densely cabled environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed links between QSFP-enabled switches and servers
• Rack-to-rack connections in data center topologies
• Interconnects between storage arrays and host adapters with QSFP ports
• Environments requiring low-latency, EMI-resistant cabling

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable for InfiniBand
• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Length: 10 metres
• Form factor: QSFP+ transceiver form factor at both ends
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber optimized for short-range high-speed links
• Typical use: short-reach data center interconnects with low latency requirements

How to use

Insert each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your switch, server or storage device until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support active optical QSFP+ modules and that firmware or configuration settings allow for the intended link speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. After connection, verify link status and negotiate expected data rates through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and protect the connectors when installing or removing the cable. Use the cable for short-range, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks; check device compatibility for QSFP+ active optical connections and ensure firmware or driver support for InfiniBand if applicable.
