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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-NG-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and server rooms. It provides a low-latency link between QSFP ports and is suitable for combining high bandwidth with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The cable's male-to-male QSFP interface ensures straightforward connection to compatible switches, network interface cards and other QSFP-based equipment.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers high data throughput and stable signal integrity over a 7 m length while minimising weight and handling complexity compared with bulkier copper assemblies. Its active optical design supports long, loss-minimised links and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The standard QSFP male connectors provide broad compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP form-factor interconnects, enabling straightforward deployment in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Low-latency storage area network interconnects
• Rack and cabinet consolidation where 7 m cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 7 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, high bandwidth optical signalling
• Physical: Lightweight and flexible fibre assembly for tight routing

How to use

Verify that both endpoints have compatible QSFP ports and that the system supports active optical QSFP connections. Power down or follow hot-plugging guidelines of the connected equipment if required by the vendor. Align the QSFP male connector with the port and gently insert until it seats; ensure retention mechanisms are engaged where present. Route the 7 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, keeping the optical assembly free from severe kinks and crushing. When disconnecting, release any latches and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the mating interface.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard fibre-optic precautions: avoid excessive bending radius, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and install in rack channels or cable management trays to prevent mechanical stress. Match cable length and QSFP compatibility to system requirements to ensure optimal performance in InfiniBand environments.
