BlueOptics 10315-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 10 m QSFP stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics 10315-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m QSFP Male/Male is a pre-assembled active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors and a 10 meter multi-mode fibre link designed for high-speed short-range interconnects. It implements a 40GBASE-SR4-type data channel over multi-mode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver electronics on each connector end, enabling simultaneous send and receive optical signal transmission. The cable is intended for use in data centre and networking environments where compact QSFP connections and guaranteed optical performance are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 10315-BO offers a factory-assembled fibre solution that eliminates the need for field splicing or patch cord cleaning, reducing installation time and potential attenuation from connector mating. Built to MSA-aligned QSFP form-factor specifications, the cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers and supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, output and received optical power, and temperature where the host hardware supports this feature. The multi-mode AOC design provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports low-latency, high-throughput links across the 10 m span.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbps QSFP interconnects between switches and routers in data centres
• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links within racks and across adjacent racks
• Storage system connections and fabric links requiring multi-mode fibre optics

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male (QSFP to QSFP)
• Cable length: 10 metres
• Physical medium: multi-mode fibre with integrated active optics (AOC)
• Nominal data rate: designed for 40G (40GBASE-SR4 class optical link)
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM (MSA SFF-8472) when host device exposes the feature
• Immunity: not susceptible to electromagnetic interference (optical transmission)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10315-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP socket on the network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages and that the host ports are powered and configured for the intended 40G optical link. No field termination is required. If the host system supports DDM/DOM, use the management interface to read diagnostic parameters for link monitoring. Follow standard data centre handling procedures for fibre-optic assemblies to avoid excessive bending of the cable and to secure the cable along rack pathways.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route and secure the cable to respect minimum bend radius limits, avoid tight kinks, and keep connectors free of contamination. Verify host device compatibility with 40G QSFP AOCs and enable or confirm DDM/DOM support in the connected hardware if remote diagnostics are required.
