Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-IX-BO 30 m QSFP+ para QSFP+

InfiniBand Active Optical Cable CBO QSFP-AOC-30M-IX-BO is a 30-meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical link engineered for high-speed data interconnects. As an active optical cable, it converts electrical signals to optical and back at the transceiver ends to provide long-reach connectivity with lower signal loss and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to equivalent copper cables. The cable supports reliable low-latency links between QSFP ports and is designed for environments where consistent throughput and signal integrity over a 30 m span are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers extended reach with stable signal performance across 30 meters while maintaining QSFP+ form-factor compatibility. The optical medium reduces EMI susceptibility and avoids the weight and bulk of copper assemblies for long runs. Its active transceiver elements compensate for channel impairments, preserving data integrity and supporting high-speed InfiniBand or Ethernet protocols without manual signal conditioning.

Suitable for

• Interconnects in data center racks and across adjacent racks
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low-latency links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections at QSFP+ ports
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and long reach are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber with active transceivers
• Designed for high-speed serial interconnects such as InfiniBand and compatible Ethernet rates
• Low-latency optical transmission for short to medium data center spans

How to use

Install the QSFP-AOC-30M-IX-BO by inserting each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices, ensuring the connector latches engage. No separate power or configuration is required beyond ensuring host ports support active optical modules and the intended protocol. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe manufacturer-recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor for any port-level errors after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the QSFP+ connectors. Use in temperature-controlled rack environments and verify compatibility with host port firmware that supports active optical QSFP+ links. Periodically inspect connectors for dust and contamination and clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools if required.
