BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-2M-PS-BO καλώδιο InfiniBand/οπτικής ίνας 2m αρσενικό/αρσενικό

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-2M-PS-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 2-meter active optical cable with QSFP male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed short-range links. The cable implements a QSFP-to-QSFP MSA-compliant interface with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on both ends, enabling 40G data rates over multimode fiber for switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP AOC connections. The pre-assembled AOC eliminates the need for separate patch cords and reduces signal attenuation and EMI sensitivity typical for copper cabling.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP active optical cable provides a compact, plug-and-play connection that supports up to 40 Gbit/s on a 2 m link while conforming to QSFP AOC MSA specifications. Integrated optical transceivers and digital diagnostics make monitoring and troubleshooting easier, and the factory-assembled design reduces insertion loss and maintenance associated with field-terminated fiber. The cable is manufactured using industry-grade optical and electronic components to provide stable performance and extended service life in data centre environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed interconnects between QSFP ports on switches and routers
• Storage network links and SAN uplinks requiring 40G connectivity
• Short-reach links in data centres and server racks (up to 2 m)
• Environments where immunity to electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) to QSFP (male)
• Length: 2 meters
• Rated data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4 class applications)
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber with integrated active optical transceivers
• MSA compliance: QSFP AOC mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support for voltage, bias current, output/received power and temperature (hardware support required)

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP AOC connections and the required 40G protocols before installation. Insert each QSFP connector into the appropriate port until it latches; do not force the connector. Confirm link status through the host device interface and, if available, read digital diagnostic data to verify operating parameters. For safety, power down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor if required, and avoid bending the cable beyond recommended minimum bend radius during routing.

Recommendations

Before deployment, verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage hardware and check whether the host system supports DDM/DOM to access diagnostic data. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; keep connectors clean and handle by the connector housings. For critical environments, test the link after installation to confirm expected throughput and stability.
