BlueOptics MC2210310-015-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 15 m QSFP

The BlueOptics InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15 m QSFP is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. Designed for multi-mode fibre transmission, the cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules on each end to support short-range 40 Gbps links using established SR4/40GBASE protocols and QSFP form-factor compatibility.

Advantages

This QSFP-to-QSFP active optical cable offers low latency and high bandwidth for demanding applications while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its 15 m length allows for flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections without active electrical repeaters. The cable follows common MSA QSFP mechanical and electrical conventions for plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that supports SR4/40GBASE AOC connectivity.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch links in data centers
• Server uplinks and top-of-rack aggregation
• Storage networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Short-range backbone connections within racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 15 metres
• Transmission type: Active Optical Cable with integrated transceivers
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbps aggregate
• Fibre type: multi-mode fibre for short-range SR4/40GBASE links
• Form factor: QSFP MSA compatible

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP AOC connectivity and the same short-range 40G protocol. Power down or follow hot-plug guidelines of your hardware if recommended by the vendor. Align the QSFP connector latch with the device port and insert until the connector seats and the latch engages. Verify link status through your switch or host interface diagnostics and monitor for link up at the intended data rate. For removal, release the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius as specified for multi-mode fibre AOCs. Keep the transceiver ends protected from dust when not connected. Use this cable for short-range high-bandwidth connections (up to 15 m) and confirm device compatibility with SR4/40GBASE QSFP AOC modules before deployment.
