Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-QN-BO 15m maschio/maschio

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-QN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth connections between QSFP-enabled devices. It delivers reliable, low-latency data transfer suitable for data centre interconnects and high-performance computing clusters. The cable integrates QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends and supports InfiniBand signalling over a single, lightweight optical assembly that reduces electromagnetic interference and simplifies cable management.

Advantages

This 15-metre active optical cable provides consistent high-speed throughput with low insertion loss and stable signal integrity across the full length. The Male/Male QSFP connectors allow direct plug-and-play compatibility with QSFP ports, reducing the need for intermediate transceivers. Its optical construction lowers heat generation and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while the flexible jacket and compact QSFP connectors help maintain tidy routing in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and adapters with QSFP ports in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring InfiniBand connectivity
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links over 15 metres
• Environments where low latency and stable throughput are critical

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP Male to QSFP Male
• Length: 15 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand signalling compatible
• Construction: fibre optic with flexible jacket for routing
• Performance characteristics: low insertion loss and low latency transmission

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages securely. No external transceivers or additional configuration are required for typical plug-and-play operation when both endpoints support QSFP InfiniBand interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it within the rack to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean, dry environment and avoid tight bending radii to preserve fibre performance. Use this 15 m QSFP AOC where optical reach and low-latency InfiniBand links are needed; for shorter connections consider lower-length assemblies to reduce slack, and for longer spans evaluate suitable transceiver-based fibre solutions.
