## Summary description

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-SO-BO is a 2-meter QSFP-to-QSFP AOC designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections. As an active optical cable, it provides low-latency, electrically transparent links suitable for data centers, HPC clusters, and server interconnects. The plug-and-play design offers reliable short-range optical connectivity without separate transceivers.

## Long description

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-2M-SO-BO — 2 m QSFP to QSFP is a 2‑metre active optical cable designed for direct QSFP-to-QSFP interconnects. As an active optical cable for InfiniBand environments, it integrates optical transceivers within the cable assembly to provide a compact, plug-and-play link that delivers high data rates with low latency and electrical transparency. The cable is intended for short-range optical connectivity in data centres, high-performance computing clusters and server racks where reliable, high-bandwidth links are required.
Advantages
The CBO InfiniBand AOC eliminates the need for separate transceivers by incorporating active optical components into the cable, simplifying installation and reducing component count. Its optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity compared with copper alternatives, while supporting high throughput and low latency communication. The two-metre length balances flexibility and signal performance for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack connections.
Suitable for
 High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
 Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
 Server blade and top-of-rack connectivity
 Low-latency storage networks and InfiniBand fabrics
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP to QSFP optical interfaces
 Length: 2 metres
 Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceiver modules
 Designed use: Short-range data centre and HPC interconnects
 Performance: High data-rate support with low latency and improved signal integrity compared to copper
 Compatibility: Fits standard QSFP ports used in InfiniBand and compatible switches/hosts
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on host adapters, switches or servers until the connector latches. The active optical cable is plug-and-play and does not require separate optical transceivers or fibre patching. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines provided by your hardware vendor if connecting to live systems. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance.
Usage recommendations
For optimal reliability, use the 2 m AOC in short-range top-of-rack or adjacent-rack connections where QSFP ports are available. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force and environments with high mechanical stress. Verify firmware and driver compatibility on connected devices for InfiniBand link negotiation and keep operating temperatures within the equipment specifications.
