## Summary description

The BlueOptics GB17M4Y-BO is a 10 m AOC InfiniBand/fibre optic cable featuring QSFP connectors on both ends. This cable provides high-speed data transmission with excellent reliability and low latency, making it ideal for data centers and high-performance computing environments. The Aqua color adds a modern touch to your setup, while the durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.

## Long description

The BlueOptics GB17M4Y-BO QSFP AOC 10 m Aqua is an active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic interconnects. With QSFP connectors on both ends and a 10-metre active optical link, this AOC supports 40GBASE-SR4 transmission characteristics and is intended for low-latency, high-throughput environments such as data centres and high-performance computing clusters. The Aqua-coloured jacket provides cable identification while durable construction and MSA-compliant QSFP interfaces ensure interoperability with common networking and storage platforms.
Advantages
This active optical cable offers consistent 40 Gbit/s class throughput across a 10 m span while maintaining low latency and signal integrity compared with equivalent copper solutions. The QSFP-to-QSFP form factor follows MSA standards for broad compatibility and straightforward hot-plug operation. The Aqua jacket simplifies cable management and visual identification in dense rack environments, and the AOC design reduces electromagnetic interference and power consumption compared with some electrical alternatives.
Suitable for
 High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
 Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
 Storage systems and SAN fabric connections
 Network equipment that supports QSFP AOC modules and 40GBASE-SR4
Key specifications
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Nominal speed class: 40GBASE-SR4 compatible
 Connector type: QSFP on both ends (QSFP-to-QSFP)
 Cable length: 10 m
 Jacket colour: Aqua
 Low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-throughput links
How to use
Ensure both endpoints support QSFP AOC connections and the 40GBASE-SR4 transmission profile before installation. With systems powered off or in hot-plug-capable mode, insert the QSFP connector into the QSFP port until the latch engages, then verify link status via the host or switch management interface. The AOC does not require separate transceivers or additional fibre patching; routing should avoid sharp bends and kinks to preserve optical performance. If the connected equipment supports SFP diagnostics, monitor link quality and temperature through the device management tools.
Usage recommendations
Route the 10 m AOC to minimise mechanical stress and avoid tight bend radii. Use the Aqua colour for quick visual identification in multi-cable environments, and match the cable length to rack layout to prevent excess slack. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s QSFP AOC support list for optimal interoperability and enable any recommended firmware or port configuration for 40G operation.
