BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP Aqua colour

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m QSFP Aqua colour is a 7-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectors designed for high-speed connections in data center and networking environments. It supports 40G transmission protocols over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, enabling simultaneous send and receive optical signal transfer. The pre-assembled cable offers a plug-and-play connection without the need for field termination or patch cord polishing, and the aqua color identifies it as a high-speed multimode QSFP link.

Advantages

This BlueOptics 7 m QSFP AOC is compatible with Juniper 740-065624 applications and is manufactured to MSA-aligned specifications, providing interoperability with hardware that supports the equivalent 40GBASE-SR4 AOC form factor. The cable integrates high-quality optical and electronic components to ensure stable optical performance, reduced attenuation compared with patched links, and long-term service life. Many models include digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote status information such as optical power and temperature when supported by host hardware.

Подходит для

• High-density data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server 40G connections
• InfiniBand and Ethernet 40GBASE-SR4 short-reach optical links
• Storage systems and high-performance computing interconnects requiring QSFP ports
• Environments where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP to QSFP active optical cable
• Length: 7 meters
• Data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber (AOC)
• Connector gender: male to male (QSFP)
• Color: aqua (multimode identification)
• Includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) where host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices until the connector latches; no additional transceivers or fiber termination are required. Ensure that both devices support 40GBASE-SR4 or compatible QSFP interfaces and that the host firmware or operating system recognizes AOC modules. If DDM/DOM data is required, verify that the connected hardware exposes diagnostics via management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber assemblies.

Рекомендации по использованию

For reliable operation, keep the aqua AOC connectors clean and protected when not in use, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling, and confirm compatibility with the intended network equipment. Test the link after installation to verify 40G operation and, if available, use the DDM/DOM parameters to monitor optical power and temperature for preventive maintenance.
