Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-SS-BO 10 m

CBO QSFP-AOC-10M-SS-BO is a 10-meter active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP interface designed for high-speed, low-latency connections between network switches, storage arrays and servers. The cable uses active optical transmission to extend reliable data links over a 10 m distance while maintaining signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. It is intended for use in dense rack environments and data centers where optical interconnects are preferred for bandwidth and distance requirements.

Advantages

The Active Optical InfiniBand Cable delivers high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding cluster and storage applications. Active optics reduce signal degradation over the 10 m span and provide stable performance in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The QSFP connector form factor supports compact, high-density port layouts in modern switches and servers, and the optical construction reduces weight and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage enclosures
• Server-to-switch links in data centers and colo racks
• Environments where optical cabling is required to avoid EMI

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Interface: QSFP connector
• Length: 10 m
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber
• Intended application: InfiniBand data links
• Typical benefits: Low latency, high bandwidth, EMI immunity

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the QSFP connectors into corresponding QSFP ports on your devices until the connector latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that port LEDs indicate a link. Route the cable through rack cable management to avoid sharp bends and strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fiber. No external power or configuration is required beyond verifying link state in the host or switch management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and kinks, keep connector endfaces clean and use dust caps when the cable is not connected. Verify compatibility of QSFP ports and firmware with active optical cables in your equipment, and follow data center cable management best practices to maintain airflow and accessibility.
