BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-QN-BO Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand 7 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-QN-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP end connectors designed for high‑speed interconnects in data centres and networking racks. This cable provides a low‑latency optical link suitable for high throughput applications, combining the signal integrity of fibre optics with the convenience of direct QSFP‑to‑QSFP connectivity. The cable is intended for short to medium reach links where electrical QSFP cables are impractical or where higher bandwidth and improved electromagnetic immunity are required.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable high‑speed data transmission with inherent optical isolation that reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Its integrated QSFP connectors simplify installation and eliminate the need for separate transceivers, resulting in a compact, plug‑and‑play connection. The 7‑metre length balances flexibility and reach for typical rack and row interconnects while keeping signal attenuation low. Built for compatibility with QSFP ports, the cable supports dense networking setups and helps maintain consistent performance under continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High‑performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Rack interconnects where 7 m reach is required
• Environments needing low latency and high bandwidth optical links

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 7 metres
• Transmission medium: Fibre optic (optical link)
• Intended application: InfiniBand and high‑speed data networking
• Performance characteristics: Designed for low latency and high throughput

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that connected devices are powered off or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by equipment manufacturers. After connection, verify link status through the device management interface and monitor for proper negotiation of speed and lane configuration. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw the plug straight out to avoid stress on the fibre assembly.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Avoid tight bundling with electrical power cables to minimize mechanical stress. Use strain relief at patch points or cable management trays in racks. Verify compatibility with the QSFP ports on your switches and servers and perform periodic checks for secure seating and visual damage to the cable outer jacket.
