## Summary description

The BlueOptics AX42-BO is a 1 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable featuring QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transfer, it ensures reliable connectivity in data centers and networking environments. The Aqua color coding helps in easy identification and organization of cables.

## Long description

The BlueOptics AX42-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends and an aqua jacket for easy identification. Designed for high-speed short-range links, this QSFP-to-QSFP cable follows MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor standards and supports multi-lane optical transmission suitable for 40 Gbps-class applications. The integrated transmitters and receivers at each end allow bi-directional optical signal transfer over multimode fiber without the need for separate transceivers or patching.
Advantages
This 1 m BlueOptics AOC provides a compact pre-assembled fibre solution that reduces installation time and avoids connector polishing or on-site splicing. Aqua color coding helps with cable management and rapid identification in dense rack environments. The cable includes active optical components to maintain signal integrity over the short-reach multimode link and is produced to industry MSA standards for physical and electrical compatibility with QSFP QSFP ports supporting similar 40GBASE-SR4 protocols.
Suitable for
High-speed interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems in data centers
Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links requiring QSFP-to-QSFP connections
Environments that require clear cable identification and organized patching
Key specifications
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors
Length: 1 meter
Connector form factor: QSFP on both ends (QSFP compatible)
Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber (pre-assembled)
Typical application class: 40 Gbps-class short-range optical links (SR4-type multimode operation)
Color coding: Aqua jacket for identification
How to use
Install the BlueOptics AX42-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats firmly; secure any port latches according to your hardware's instructions. The cable is pre-assembled and requires no field termination. Ensure host hardware supports QSFP AOC modules and the target transmission protocol (for example 40GBASE-SR4 or compatible InfiniBand QSFP links). Verify any required digital diagnostics or port settings in the switch/router firmware if monitoring is needed.
Usage recommendations
Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive compression; respect the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Use the aqua color to help maintain organized cable runs and label both ends if required for asset management. Confirm that connected devices support the AOC and any diagnostic features you intend to use.
