BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP 30m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-30M-BO is a 30 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP connectors designed for 40G data links using multimode fibre. It implements the 40GBASE-SR4 profile and integrates transmitters and receivers in the cable ends to enable high-speed optical transmission over a 30 m link. The cable is intended for data centre and enterprise networking equipment that supports QSFP 40G AOCs and provides a pre-assembled fibre solution without in-field splicing or patching.

Advantages

The AOC delivers 40 Gbit/s throughput over multimode fibre with immunity to electromagnetic interference and low latency typical of optical links. As an MSA-compliant QSFP to QSFP solution, it provides plug-and-play connectivity, integrated transceivers at both ends, and support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature. The pre-assembled design removes the need for separate patch cords and reduces insertion and connector handling, simplifying deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• 40G server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data centres
• High-throughput storage networking and SAN interconnects
• Low-latency cluster and HPC interconnects using InfiniBand or Ethernet
• Short-reach optical links inside racks and across adjacent racks (up to 30 m)

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP to QSFP active optical cable
• Maximum data rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Length: 30 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode fibre with integrated optical transceivers
• Supported protocol profiles: 40GBASE-SR4, compatible with Ethernet, FCoE and SDH/SONET high-speed applications
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM compliant (real-time monitoring of electrical and optical parameters)
• MSA-compliant QSFP interface

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by inserting the QSFP connectors into the QSFP ports of compatible switches, routers or server adapters while the equipment is powered according to the host vendor’s instructions. Ensure ports are compatible with QSFP AOCs and that the host supports the 40GBASE-SR4 profile and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required. No fibre termination or patching is necessary; secure cable routing to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress and follow your rack and cable-management practices.

Usage recommendations

Verify host hardware support for third-party AOCs and DDM/DOM functions before deployment, route the cable to respect minimum bend radius and strain relief, and avoid exposure to mechanical damage or contaminants on connectors. For consistent performance, use multimode-compatible transceiver settings on both ends and monitor DDM values during initial commissioning and periodic maintenance.
