BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CH-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 15m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CH-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission. Engineered for dense networking environments and data centre interconnects, this cable supports InfiniBand link requirements while offering the flexibility of a plug-and-play, male-to-male QSFP implementation. The construction and connector format make it suitable for short to medium reach connections between switches, servers and storage systems that use QSFP ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CH-BO cable provides high bandwidth capacity with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives, and its active optical design helps maintain signal integrity over the 15 metre length. The QSFP male-to-male connectors enable simple installation without additional transceivers, while the lightweight fibre construction facilitates cable management in dense rack environments. The product is intended to deliver stable InfiniBand performance with consistent latency and reliable throughput.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Interconnects between storage arrays and compute nodes using QSFP ports
• Short- to medium-reach InfiniBand links in clustered environments
• Network equipment labs and testing setups requiring QSFP AOC links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand
• Designed use: Data centre and high-performance computing interconnects
• Construction: Fibre optic (optical transmission, reduced EMI)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CH-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure both devices are powered down or follow hot-swap manufacturer guidelines if supported, then verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for optical cables during routing. No separate transceivers or additional configuration are typically required for standard InfiniBand operation; the cable functions as an integrated optical link.

Recommendations

Route the cable to minimize stress on connectors and preserve bend radius; avoid contact with equipment fans or heat sources. Before installation, confirm QSFP port compatibility and firmware support for AOC links on both devices. For critical links, perform acceptance testing to verify throughput and latency meet application requirements.
