BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-IA-BO cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 7 m ficha/ficha

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-metre active optical cable designed for high-throughput, low-latency connections between QSFP ports. Built for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports InfiniBand signaling over a compact, plug-and-play QSFP form factor that connects directly between compatible switches, adapters and servers. The male-to-male QSFP connectors ensure a secure connection and simplified installation without the need for separate transceivers.

Advantages

This 7 m active optical cable provides high data transfer rates with low signal loss and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper solutions. The integrated optics and QSFP connector design reduce rack clutter and simplify cabling management. Its plug-and-play nature allows quick deployment while maintaining reliable link integrity over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Direct interconnects between QSFP ports on switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency InfiniBand links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within rack and between adjacent racks
• Environments where reduced EMI and lighter cabling are preferred over copper

Key specifications

• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Protocol support: InfiniBand
• Typical applications: Data center interconnects, HPC clusters

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support InfiniBand over QSFP and that port settings match the intended link speed. No external transceivers or special drivers are required for most modern switches and adapters; once connected, verify link status via device management interfaces and perform any necessary configuration for the InfiniBand fabric.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer; avoid running the AOC parallel to large power cables to minimize potential interference and maintain airflow in racks. For optimal performance, regularly check connector cleanliness and ensure secure seating in QSFP ports.
