BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-MV-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 15m maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-MV-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand networks. It integrates QSFP connectors on both ends to deliver low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and storage systems. The cable combines optical transmission with pre-installed transceivers, offering stable signal integrity over a longer reach than typical copper assemblies while remaining compact and easy to route in dense racks.

Advantages

This QSFP-to-QSFP active optical cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding data centre environments. Its integrated optical transceivers reduce the need for separate modules and simplify installation. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability, allowing flexible placement of equipment across racks or between adjacent rooms. The design minimizes electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions, supporting consistent performance in high-density deployments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and server nodes
• High-performance computing clusters and storage fabrics
• Data centre spine-leaf topologies and aggregation links
• Short to medium distance links in server rooms and equipment halls

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (both ends)
• Length: 15 metres
• Media: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Transmission: Optical, low-latency, high-throughput
• Cable form factor: Compact, rack-friendly design

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP ports on devices that support InfiniBand QSFP interfaces. Ensure device ports are powered down or that hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer are followed. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and compressive stress; follow rack and cable management guidelines to maintain bend radius. After connection, verify link status via device management interfaces and monitor for stable throughput and error rates.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius. Use strain relief and proper cable management in high-density racks. Verify compatibility with your InfiniBand equipment and firmware; test the link under expected load to confirm latency and throughput meet system requirements.
