## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP56, model 980-9I449-00H005-BO, provides 200Gb/s connectivity over a 5‑meter link for Infiniband HDR environments. The QSFP56 AOC integrates optical transceivers for short-reach, low-latency server, switch and storage interconnects. Designed for data center topologies requiring high-bandwidth, low-power links with native QSFP56 ports.

## Long description

The BlueOptics Active Optical Cable QSFP56 200Gb/s for Infiniband HDR is a 5‑meter short‑reach cable solution designed for high‑performance data center interconnects. It integrates QSFP56 optical transceivers into a single assembly to deliver 200Gb/s full‑duplex bandwidth with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper interconnects. This AOC is intended for direct connections between servers, switches and storage systems that feature native QSFP56 ports and require reliable, high‑bandwidth links.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable provides 200Gb/s aggregate throughput over a 5 m distance while minimizing electromagnetic interference and heat generation. Integration of optical transceivers in the cable assembly reduces the need for separate pluggable modules and simplifies installation. The QSFP56 interface supports native Infiniband HDR signaling for low latency, and the optical medium lowers power draw compared with long or dense copper solutions. The cable's construction is tailored to data center routing and short‑reach topologies.
Suitable for
 Direct server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
 Storage cluster interconnects requiring high throughput and low latency
 Infiniband HDR fabrics and high-performance computing (HPC) networks
 Top-of-rack and leaf-spine network architectures with QSFP56 ports
Key specifications
 Interface: QSFP56 integrated active optical assembly
 Nominal bandwidth: 200Gb/s full duplex
 Supported protocol: Infiniband HDR signaling compatibility
 Length: 5 meters (fixed, factory-terminated)
 Medium: multimode optical fiber within active cable assembly
 Latency: low‑latency optical link suitable for HPC and storage fabrics
 Power consumption: lower than equivalent copper solutions for similar reach
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting the QSFP56 connectors into the native QSFP56 ports of compatible switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure that both ends are seated securely and that cage latches or retention mechanisms are engaged where present. No separate transceiver module or external fiber patching is required. Verify link status through device indicators or management interfaces and confirm that firmware and port configuration match the 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR link requirements.
Usage recommendations
Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of high mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use AOC routing practices consistent with data center airflow and cable management policies. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP56 AOC assemblies and ensure firmware or driver support for Infiniband HDR operation before deployment.
