Cabo ótico ativo QSFP AOC CBO PAN-QSFP-AOC-5M-BO, 5 m

The CBO PAN-QSFP-AOC-5M-BO active QSFP AOC optical cable is a 5-metre, pre-terminated active optical cable designed for QSFP ports in data centre and enterprise network environments. It provides a compact, low-latency connection between QSFP-enabled switches, routers and network appliances. The cable is plug-and-play and intended for short-reach high-speed links where copper or transceiver-plus-patch-cord solutions are less practical.

Advantages

This active QSFP AOC cable offers a factory-terminated, single-assembly solution that reduces installation time and avoids field splicing. The optical transmission provides low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while the lightweight fibre construction simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. Built for QSFP ports, it supports hot-plug installation and maintains consistent performance across the 5-metre channel.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP ports between switches in data centre racks
• High-throughput links between routers and network appliances
• Short-reach aggregation and spine-leaf links in enterprise networks
• Environments requiring compact, low-latency fibre connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP active optical cable (QSFP-to-QSFP)
• Length: 5 metres
• Transmission medium: active optical fibre
• Use case: short-reach, high-speed data links
• Installation: pre-terminated, plug-and-play
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for data centre traffic

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the networking devices while the equipment is powered or powered down according to vendor guidelines. Ensure connectors seat fully and that transceiver indicators (if present) show normal status. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; observe minimum bend radius guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer. No additional configuration is typically required beyond verifying link status and speed on the connected devices.

Recommendations

Choose this active QSFP AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks and between neighbouring racks. Keep the cable free from tight bends and secure it with appropriate cable management to preserve optical performance and mechanical integrity.
