Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP2M-BO 2 m QSFP azul-água

The BlueOptics 40G-AOC-QSFP2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP Aqua is a short-reach active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. With QSFP male connectors on both ends and a 2 metre length, this cable supports 40 Gbps links while minimising signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference typical of copper alternatives. It targets switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and server-to-server connections where compact, reliable optical cabling is required.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP-AOC cable offers stable 40 Gbps throughput with low latency and predictable performance for InfiniBand environments. The fully optical construction eliminates the need for separate transceivers and reduces heat and power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions. The Aqua jacket and QSFP form factor ensure compatibility with standard QSFP ports and clear visual identification in dense cable runs.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch uplinks
• Server to top-of-rack switch connections
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Network equipment interconnects in limited space environments

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP male connectors on both ends
• Data rate: 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth
• Length: 2 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: Short-reach InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet interconnects
• Jacket colour: Aqua for easy identification

How to use

Install the cable by connecting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on network switches, servers or adapters. Ensure the equipment is powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from your hardware vendor when inserting or removing QSFP modules. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. No additional transceivers are required since the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 2 m AOC for direct interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks. Avoid tight cable bundles and excessive bending; maintain clear labelling and follow your data centre’s airflow and cable-management practices to minimise strain and ensure long-term reliability.
