Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-20M-MR-BO 20 m QSFP+ para QSFP+

InfiniBand active optical cable CBO QSFP-AOC-20M-MR-BO is a 20 meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high performance computing environments. The AOC integrates electrical-to-optical conversion in the QSFP+ transceivers, enabling reduced latency and lighter cable routing compared with equivalent copper assemblies. This 20 m optical cable supports reliable switch-to-switch and switch-to-server interconnects where a medium-reach fiber link is required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides consistent signal integrity over a 20 m distance while lowering electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with copper alternatives. The integrated transceivers simplify installation and lower physical bulk in dense rack layouts. The QSFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that supports QSFP+ InfiniBand interfaces, delivering stable bandwidth for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch connections requiring 20 m reach
• Interconnects between switches and servers in HPC clusters
• High-throughput fabrics and low-latency InfiniBand networks
• Environments where reduced cable weight and EMI immunity are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Nominal length: 20 meters
• Intended use: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Performance focus: low latency and high signal integrity over medium reach

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the QSFP+ connectors firmly into compatible QSFP+ ports on network switches, adapters, or servers. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor when connecting in live systems. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure the cable within rack assemblies to prevent tension on connectors.

Recommendations

Verify equipment compatibility with QSFP+ InfiniBand interfaces before deployment, and keep transceiver port dust caps in place until the moment of installation. For optimal signal performance, avoid extreme bending, stretches, or routing near high-heat sources. In dense installations, label both ends of the 20 m link to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
