## Long description

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC3M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links in data centres and networking environments, this cable implements a QSFP-to-QSFP connection using multimode fibre and integrated optical transceivers to support 40 Gbit/s class short-range applications. Its construction follows MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor conventions and is intended for direct connection between QSFP ports on switches, routers or storage devices that support compatible AOC modules.
Advantages
The cable provides a ready-made optical link with integrated transmitter and receiver elements at each end, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patchcords. With a 3 m length and multimode AOC design, it offers consistent signal integrity for short-reach 40G applications while reducing rack clutter and simplifying installation. The QSFP male ends follow industry MSA standards to ensure mechanical compatibility with QSFP ports on supported network equipment.
Suitable for
 Short-reach high-speed interconnects between QSFP ports (switch-to-switch, switch-to-router, switch-to-storage)
 Data centre uplinks and top-of-rack connections requiring 40G bandwidth
 High-throughput InfiniBand and Ethernet environments using multimode fibre
 Environments where integrated AOC solutions reduce transceiver inventory and cabling complexity
Key specifications
 Length: 3 metres
 Connector type: QSFP male on both ends (QSFP-to-QSFP)
 Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transmitter and receiver
 Multimode fibre for short-range 40 Gbit/s class links
 MSA-compatible QSFP form factor
 Supported protocols: Ethernet and InfiniBand class short-range applications up to 40 Gbit/s
How to use
Plug the QSFP connectors into the corresponding QSFP ports on your networking devices while the devices are powered down or following hot-plug guidelines from the hardware vendor. Ensure ports are configured for the intended protocol (for example, 40G Ethernet or InfiniBand) in the device settings. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by your equipment documentation. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in the network equipment management interface.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m BlueOptics AOC for short-distance 40G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your switch, router or storage platform and follow vendor guidance on supported AOC modules. Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling force and exposure to liquids or extreme temperatures to maintain performance and longevity.
