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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-LS-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between compatible QSFP ports. It provides a single-cable solution for short-to-medium distance links in rack, cabinet and cross-connect environments, combining optical transmission with QSFP form-factor connectors for ease of installation and compact routing.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable delivers low-latency signal transmission and high aggregate bandwidth suitable for demanding networking tasks. Its fixed-length optical design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying cable management. The male-to-male QSFP connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity with supported switches, servers and adapters.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand networks
• Data centre top-of-rack and spine connections
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within racks
• Low-latency storage and virtualization traffic

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 15 metres
• Applications: InfiniBand and Fibre Channel compatible links
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre embedded in the assembly
• Form factor: QSFP compliant module connectors for compact port density

How to use

Verify that both devices have compatible QSFP ports and that the firmware or driver support for active optical cables is available. Power down equipment if required by the vendor, align the QSFP connectors with the port guides and insert the cable until it clicks into place. After connection, confirm link status through device diagnostics or management interfaces and observe LED indicators for active link confirmation. For disconnection, use the release mechanism on the connector and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fibre assembly.

Recommendations

Route the 15m cable to avoid sharp bends and tight bundles; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep connectors clean and protected from dust when not installed. Use this AOC in environments with controlled temperature and humidity, and follow equipment vendor guidelines for QSFP compatibility to ensure reliable high-speed links.
