Cabo ótico ativo InfiniBand CBO QSFP-AOC-5M-VA-BO 5 m, QSFP+ para QSFP+, multimodo

CBO QSFP-AOC-5M-VA-BO is a 5-metre active optical InfiniBand cable with QSFP+ connectors on both ends. It offers a compact, pre-terminated optical link for high-speed interconnects between switches, servers and storage devices. The multimode AOC design integrates transceivers and cable in one assembly, reducing installation complexity and eliminating the need for separate optical modules and patch cords. Its low-latency optical transmission and immunity to electromagnetic interference make it suitable for dense data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides reliable signal integrity over a 5 m reach while maintaining low latency and high throughput. Pre-terminated QSFP+ connectors simplify deployment and reduce cable management overhead. Being multimode and optical, the cable minimizes crosstalk and removes the limitations of copper at high data rates. The integrated transceivers lower component count and speed up replacement or reconfiguration tasks in rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections in data centers and server racks
• Interconnects between InfiniBand or QSFP+ ports on switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage arrays
• Environments requiring low electromagnetic interference and stable, low-latency links

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), multimode
• Form factor: Integrated transceiver and cable assembly
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-speed interconnects with low latency

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP+ connector into the appropriate port on devices with compatible QSFP+ or InfiniBand interfaces. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-swap guidelines recommended by your hardware vendor if connecting live. Route the flexible optical assembly through rack channels or cable management trays, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress. After connection, verify link status and data rate via the host interfaces or management software.

Recommendations

Handle the QSFP-AOC-5M-VA-BO by the connector housings and avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep connector dust caps until ready to install. Use in environments within specified temperature and humidity limits for network equipment and verify compatibility with host hardware QSFP+ or InfiniBand port firmware before deployment.
