Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-2M-CP-BO, QSFP para QSFP, 2 m

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-CP-BO, QSFP to QSFP, 2 m is a 2‑metre active optical link engineered for high-speed interconnects between QSFP ports. The cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for server-to-server, switch-to-switch and switch-to-storage links in dense rack environments. As an active optical cable, it converts electrical signals to optical within the cable assembly to reduce electrical interference and enable reliable data transmission over a short active distance while keeping a compact form factor.

Advantages

The active optical design provides stable signal integrity with lower electromagnetic interference compared to direct-attach copper alternatives. At 2 metres length the cable supports flexible cable routing in confined spaces and reduces the need for signal retimers or external transceivers. Passive handling is simplified by an integrated housing and connector design that maintains consistent QSFP compatibility and mechanical durability in typical data centre and HPC deployments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Data centre top-of-rack and spine interconnects
• High-speed switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Storage arrays and SAN environments needing QSFP connectivity

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP-to-QSFP
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 metres
• Performance: Designed for InfiniBand/high-speed Ethernet environments with low latency and high bandwidth
• Physical: Compact assembly for dense rack cabling and simplified management

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered down or ports are in a safe hot‑plug state if required by the host hardware. Verify link status and port configuration in the host or switch management interface to confirm the connection is operational. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius; secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Install the cable in clean, temperature-controlled rack environments and route it to minimize interference from heavy electrical equipment. Inspect connector ends before installation and avoid touching optical interfaces. Follow manufacturer port configuration guides for InfiniBand or Ethernet settings to ensure compatibility and full bandwidth operation.
