## Summary description

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-BO is a 5 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable featuring QSFP connectors. It provides high-speed data transfer and is ideal for connecting devices in data centers or high-performance computing environments.

## Long description

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors on both ends designed for high-speed short-reach interconnects. It supports multi-mode fibre transmission with integrated transmitters and receivers in each QSFP module, and is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP-to-QSFP AOCs at 40 Gbps class data rates. The cable is intended for use in data centres and high-performance computing environments where reliable, low-latency links are required between switches, routers and storage systems.
Advantages
The integrated transceivers provide a single-cable solution that eliminates separate SFP/QSFP transceivers and fibre patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing connector loss. As an active optical cable, it delivers the electrical-to-optical conversion within the QSFP housings, enabling 40 Gbps-class links over multi-mode fibre for distances up to 5 metres. Compatibility with QSFP ports and support for common high-speed protocols make it suitable for consolidated rack and chassis interconnects in dense networking setups.
Suitable for
 Short-reach QSFP-to-QSFP connections in data centres
 High-performance computing cluster interconnects
 Inter-switch links and uplinks in rack and row architectures
 Connections between routers, switches and storage systems that accept QSFP AOCs
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
 Length: 5 metres
 Transmission medium: multi-mode fibre with integrated optical transceivers
 Nominal data rate class: up to 40 Gbps per link (40GBASE-SR4 class applications)
 Form factor: Active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP modules
How to use
Install the BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-BO by plugging each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure the host devices support QSFP AOC modules and the expected 40 Gbps class interface. Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid sharp bends in the optical assemblies, and route the cable to prevent strain on the connector interfaces. After connection, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use this AOC for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks up to 5 metres. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s QSFP AOC acceptance list where required and follow vendor guidance for firmware or port configuration when enabling 40G links.
