BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m Male/Male is a 7-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, intended for high-speed interconnects in server racks and switch-to-switch links. The cable is designed to provide low-latency data transmission and minimal signal degradation over short to medium distances within data centre and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable combines compact QSFP form-factor connectors with optical media to reduce weight and thermal load compared with equivalent copper solutions. The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LS-BO delivers stable bandwidth for InfiniBand links, offers immunity to electromagnetic interference, and simplifies cabling by providing a fixed-length, factory-terminated assembly that requires no field splicing. Its 7-metre length balances reach and routing flexibility in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch aggregation and spine-leaf topologies
• Low-latency InfiniBand compute clusters and HPC environments
• Short- to medium-reach interconnects where weight and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Rated length: 7 metres
• Designed for: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, minimal insertion loss
• Environmental: Immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-7M-LS-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the appropriate QSFP ports on your network equipment until the connector latches. Ensure compatible QSFP ports and supported InfiniBand modes on both devices before powering the link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical assemblies. No termination or tooling is required since the cable is factory-terminated and electrically/optically calibrated for plug-and-play operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 7m QSFP AOC within rack and inter-rack connections where short latency and EMI immunity are important. Verify device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and confirm supported link speeds and InfiniBand profiles in your equipment documentation. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and mechanical stress to preserve optical performance.
