Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-RW-BO 3 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-RW-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 3-metre active optical cable with QSFP-style male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links in data centres and enterprise networks, it supports low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage systems in high-density rack environments. The cable combines the signal integrity of fibre optic transmission with the form factor compatibility of QSFP interfaces to deliver reliable short-reach connectivity.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers consistent signal quality over a 3 m length while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper assemblies. Its QSFP-compatible male connectors enable plug-and-play installation into transceiver ports or QSFP cages, and the lightweight fibre construction simplifies routing in dense cable bundles. The design is suited to environments requiring stable throughput, minimal crosstalk and predictable latency.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth interconnects between switches and routers in data centres
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage links in rack deployments
• Short-reach InfiniBand fabrics and clustered computing environments
• Infrastructure upgrades where QSFP form factor compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) using fibre optics
• Connector type: QSFP-style male on both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Use case: short-reach, high-speed data interconnects
• Typical environments: data centres, server rooms, high-density racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP-style male connector into the appropriate QSFP port or cage on the network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages. Verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC connections and confirm link status through the devices' monitoring interfaces. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it with cable management hardware as required to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bending the cable sharply, keep it away from sources of mechanical stress and maintain a clean environment around connector interfaces. Confirm that both endpoints support active optical cable connections and the intended data rates before deployment. Use appropriate cable ties and management channels to organise runs in dense racks and to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection.
