## Summary description

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC2M-BO is a 2-meter InfiniBand fibre optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission. It features QSFP connectors on both ends, ensuring a reliable male-to-male connection. Ideal for connecting devices in data centers or high-performance computing environments, this cable supports high bandwidth and low latency applications.

## Long description

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m Male/Male is a 2‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high‑speed short‑reach links. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the QSFP housings and uses multimode fibre to carry data at line rates up to 40 Gbit/s over a 2 m span. It is intended for use in data centres and high‑performance computing environments where low latency and high bandwidth are required.
Advantages
The cable provides a standardized QSFP‑to‑QSFP male connection that conforms to MSA interface conventions, enabling plug‑and‑play installation in compatible QSFP ports. As an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference and offers a lighter, more flexible alternative to copper for short interconnects. The integrated transceivers handle optical conversion, allowing the link to support Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and SDH/SONET protocols at up to 40 Gbit/s while maintaining low latency across the 2 metre length.
Suitable for
Short‑reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
High‑performance computing clusters requiring low latency links
Storage area network interconnects and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links
Network equipment and platforms that accept QSFP AOC modules
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP (male) to QSFP (male)
Cable type: Active optical cable with multimode fibre
Length: 2 metres
Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
Transmission: Short‑reach multimode optical link with integrated transmitters and receivers
Typical applications: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET at 40G
How to use
Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connector is fully seated and the device recognizes the module. No separate power or external transceiver is required beyond the host ports; the AOC contains the optical electronics that perform electrical‑to‑optical conversion. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated link speed and protocol support in the host equipment settings.
Usage recommendations
Route the 2 m cable with minimal bending and avoid tight loops; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Use this AOC for short‑reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with the host hardware and firmware that officially support QSFP AOC modules and the 40GBASE‑SR4 protocol before deployment.
