## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics QSFP56 delivers 200Gb/s connectivity for Infiniband HDR environments. This 5 meter cable provides QSFP56 interface compatibility, low-latency optical transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper. Intended for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects where reliable, short-reach optical links are required.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides 200Gb/s full-duplex connectivity designed for Infiniband HDR environments. The 5 m optical link uses a QSFP56 form factor to connect servers, switches and storage devices with low latency and stable optical transmission. Compared with equivalent copper assemblies, this AOC reduces electromagnetic interference and heat dissipation while preserving compatibility with standard QSFP56 ports for short-reach data center interconnects.
Advantages
The Active Optical Cable delivers high aggregate throughput of 200Gb/s with optical signal integrity suited to low-latency compute clusters and storage fabrics. Its QSFP56 connector compatibility simplifies integration into equipment with QSFP56 ports. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and improves thermal performance compared with copper cabling, while the 5 m length is appropriate for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in modern data centers.
Suitable for
 Infiniband HDR interconnects in high-performance computing clusters
 Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-reach links
 Storage area network uplinks and high-throughput fabrics
 Environments requiring low-latency, low-EMI optical connections
Key specifications
 Data rate: 200 Gb/s aggregate (full-duplex)
 Interface: QSFP56 optical form factor
 Medium: active optical cable (single assembly with integrated transceivers)
 Length: 5 m
 Typical use: short-reach data center interconnects
 Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for HPC and storage fabrics
 EMI performance: reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the equipment vendor if connecting under power. Confirm link status and negotiated data rate via the host or switch management interface. For predictable performance, avoid tight bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius during routing within racks and cable trays.
Usage recommendations
Store and handle the cable to prevent sharp bends or crushing; maintain a clean connector environment and check compatibility with your equipment's QSFP56 ports and firmware for supported Infiniband HDR operation.
