BlueOptics InfiniBand/καλώδιο οπτικών ινών 50 m QSFP χρώμα aqua

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP Aqua colour is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed multimode fibre links, it supports 40GBASE-SR4 applications and is compatible with systems that accept QSFP-to-QSFP 40 G connections. The aqua-coloured jacket identifies the cable visually while the integrated transceivers provide transmitter and receiver functions for optical signal transfer over multimode fibre.

Advantages

This active optical cable follows MSA-compliant QSFP form-factor conventions and is assembled with components chosen for reliable optical transmission. It supports simultaneous send and receive operations and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The pre-assembled AOC requires no field termination or patching and simplifies installation in data center and networking environments.

Suitable for

• 40G Ethernet links between switches and routers
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connections in storage networks
• High-speed interconnects in server racks and top-of-rack switching
• InfiniBand and other low-latency cluster interconnects requiring QSFP to QSFP links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors
• Length: 50 metres
• Performance class: designed for 40GBASE-SR4 multimode fibre applications (up to 40 Gbit/s)
• Fibre: multimode optical transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver on each end
• Connector colour / jacket: aqua
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM monitoring where host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked. Ensure ports are powered down or follow your equipment vendor's hot-plug guidance if applicable. Verify that the host devices support QSFP 40G AOC modules and, if needed, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the host to access diagnostic parameters. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; the pre-assembled AOC eliminates the need for onsite fibre termination.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and respect the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Confirm hardware compatibility with QSFP AOC modules before deployment and, when available, use digital diagnostics to monitor optical power, temperature and supply parameters to simplify troubleshooting and maintenance.
