## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) by BlueOptics with QSFP-DD connector supporting 400GBASE-SR8 for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand links. The 3 m duplex assembly provides short-reach multimode optical connectivity for data centers, switch-to-switch, server-to-switch, and HPC interconnects. Designed for low latency, reduced electromagnetic interference, and simplified cabling in dense rack environments.

## Long description

The BlueOptics Active Optical Cable QSFP-DD 400GBASE-SR8, 3 m, is a multimode AOC designed for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand interconnects. It combines a QSFP-DD connector and 400GBASE-SR8 optics to deliver short-reach fiber connectivity between switches, servers and high-performance computing (HPC) nodes. The 3 metre duplex assembly reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and is intended for dense rack deployments where space, signal integrity and low latency are priorities.
Advantages
This active optical cable provides high aggregate bandwidth with low latency, enabling reliable 400 Gbps links over multimode fiber without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The integrated design simplifies rack cabling and reduces connector count, while the optical medium lowers susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The 3 m length balances reach and manageability for typical top-of-rack and switch-to-switch connections.
Suitable for
Short-reach 400 Gbps links in data center switch-to-switch connections
Server-to-switch connectivity in high-density rack environments
High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
Environments requiring reduced EMI and simplified cable management
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP-DD
Standard supported: 400GBASE-SR8
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (multimode)
Length: 3 m
Application: Ethernet and InfiniBand high-speed links
Latency: low (optical media)
How to use
Insert each QSFP-DD plug into the appropriate QSFP-DD port on networking equipment or server adapters, ensuring the latch engages securely. Route the 3 m cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress on the cable assembly. No external transceivers or patching is required; the integrated cable contains the optical modules. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm proper speed and lane negotiation according to switch or host adapter diagnostics.
Usage recommendations
Handle the active optical cable by the connector housings and avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use. For reliable operation in dense racks, plan cable paths to minimize strain and maintain airflow around equipment.
