## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) by CBO, model QSFP-AOC-5M-SO-BO, is a 5 m InfiniBand interconnect with QSFP to QSFP interfaces. Designed for high-speed server, switch and storage connections in data centers, it converts electrical QSFP signals to optical and back for low-latency, EMI-resistant links over short reaches. Suitable for HPC, clustering and SAN environments requiring reliable short-range optical connectivity.

## Long description

CBO InfiniBand Active Optical Cable QSFP-AOC-5M-SO-BO is a 5 m QSFP-to-QSFP active optical link designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data center environments. The cable converts electrical QSFP signals to optical transmission and back, providing low-latency communication with resistance to electromagnetic interference. It is intended for use between servers, switches and storage in setups where reliable, low-loss optical interconnects are required for InfiniBand fabrics and other high-speed networks.
Advantages
The active optical design delivers consistent signal quality over the full 5 m length while minimizing latency and heat compared with equivalent copper cables. Optical conversion reduces susceptibility to EMI and ground loop issues, improving connection stability in dense rack and multi-cable installations. The QSFP-to-QSFP connectors support native high-speed InfiniBand links and simplify direct device-to-device connections without external transceivers.
Suitable for
 High-performance computing clusters and node interconnects
 Top-of-rack and spine switch connections in data centers
 Storage area network links and SAN aggregation
 Low-latency server-to-server or server-to-switch links
Key specifications
 Interface: QSFP to QSFP active optical connection
 Length: 5 meters
 Transmission medium: multimode optical with active electrical-to-optical conversion
 Optimized for InfiniBand high-speed fabrics with low latency
 EMI resistance due to optical signal path
 Plug-and-play form factor compatible with QSFP ports
How to use
Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring both ends are fully seated and locked. The cable performs optical conversion internally and requires no external power beyond the host device ports. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor for any port-specific LED indicators to confirm negotiated speeds and lane alignment. For routine maintenance, power down equipment if recommended by the host vendor before unplugging the cable to avoid hot-plug issues.
Usage recommendations
Use the cable for short-range high-bandwidth links in controlled data center environments. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and keep the cable within manufacturer bend-radius limits. Maintain clean connector areas and remove dust before insertion to preserve signal integrity. For mixed-vendor infrastructures, confirm QSFP compatibility and supported InfiniBand speeds with the device documentation.
