BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LC-BO Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών InfiniBand 7m αρσενικό/αρσενικό

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency links in data centre and enterprise networking environments. With QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this AOC provides a compact, lightweight connection solution for switches, routers and server interfaces that support QSFP-based InfiniBand interconnects. The cable is designed to maintain signal integrity over its length while minimising power consumption and electromagnetic interference typical of copper alternatives.

Advantages

The QSFP-AOC-7M-LC-BO delivers consistent high-bandwidth performance with reduced attenuation compared to passive copper cables, enabling long-reach direct connections without transceiver modules. Its integrated optical transceivers lower system heat and electrical noise, and the Male/Male QSFP terminations ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation in standard QSFP ports. The lightweight fibre construction improves cable management and reduces mechanical stress on ports.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Low-latency trading platforms and database replication links
• Rack-to-rack connections where a 7 metre reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Supported interface: InfiniBand (QSFP form-factor)
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-optimized optical fibre
• Typical use: short to mid-range data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LC-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on your networking equipment until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by the equipment before insertion to prevent port errors. Confirm link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and verify configuration settings for the InfiniBand link speed and lane mapping if required. Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of the optical components. Use cable management accessories to prevent strain on QSFP ports and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius. Verify compatibility with your QSFP InfiniBand ports and firmware requirements before deployment to ensure full bandwidth and feature support.
