BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-CI-BO Καλώδιο Οπτικής Ίνας InfiniBand 3m Βύσμα/Βύσμα

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-3M-CI-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-metre active optical cable engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency data links in professional networking environments. With QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, the cable supports short-range, high-speed interconnects between switches, servers, storage arrays and other InfiniBand-enabled equipment while minimising signal degradation and electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides reliable high-speed transmission over a 3 m distance while remaining compact and easy to route in dense rack environments. The QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity reduces the need for transceivers and separate fibre patching, simplifying deployment and lowering total cabling footprint. Designed for InfiniBand networking, it offers low latency and consistent performance suitable for data centre traffic, cluster computing and storage interconnects.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and node interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Server-to-storage connections in SAN and NAS environments
• Short-reach InfiniBand links in rack and chassis installations

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 3 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Performance characteristics: Low latency, minimal signal attenuation
• Physical: Compact, flexible design suitable for dense cabling

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on your networking equipment, ensuring proper alignment and a firm seating until the connector latches engage. Use the 3 m length to route the cable within racks or between adjacent enclosures, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. No additional transceivers are required when both devices support QSFP AOC direct connectivity. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight cable bends and ensure adequate airflow around connected ports. Use this 3 m QSFP AOC for short-range links inside racks or between nearby racks; for longer distances, select a suitable transceiver and single-mode or multimode fibre solution. Inspect connectors before installation and keep dust caps until ready to connect.
