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

CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-MA-BO is a 10-metre active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP+ connectors on both ends, intended for high-speed interconnects between servers, switches and storage systems. The cable delivers optical transmission across a 10 m link without requiring separate transceiver modules, offering a compact, factory-terminated solution for data center environments where extended reach, signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are needed.

Advantages

The active optical design provides longer reach than copper direct-attach cables while maintaining low latency suitable for InfiniBand fabrics. Optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and removes the need for additional transceivers, simplifying rack installation and cable management. The QSFP+ connectors at both ends ensure compatibility with equipment supporting QSFP+ ports and allow hot-pluggable connection and straightforward replacement.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Low-latency links between servers and storage arrays
• Connections where electrical DACs cannot meet reach or EMI constraints

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP+ on both ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber with active optical electronics
• Latency: low, suitable for cluster and low-latency environments

How to use

Install by inserting each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring secure seating and observing proper port alignment. No separate transceivers are required; the cable is factory-terminated and hot-pluggable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and verify link status through the host or switch management interface after connection. For equipment with lane or speed configuration options, confirm port settings match the intended InfiniBand speed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain the specified bend radius and avoid excessive tension on the cable. Use AOC cables for mid-range links where copper DACs do not provide sufficient reach or where electromagnetic isolation is important. Check compatibility with your QSFP+ ports and platform firmware for optimal interoperability.
