BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC15M-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15 m

The BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m is a pre-assembled active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed links in data center and networking environments. The 15 meter multimode AOC supports 40GBASE-SR4 class data rates and integrates transmitter and receiver electronics at each connector to transmit optical signals over multimode fiber while complying with MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor requirements. The cable is intended as a plug-and-play connection between compatible switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP AOC modules and is engineered to provide low attenuation, minimal electromagnetic interference and consistent signal integrity across the 15 m reach.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC delivers 40 Gbit/s capable performance across a 15 m multimode link with integrated optics to simplify installation and reduce the need for patchcord cleaning. Built and tested to MSA-style specifications, the cable is compatible with systems that support QSFP to QSFP AOC connections and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time metrics such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received optical power, and temperature. Components are sourced from established manufacturers and the assembly is optimized for long service life and consistent operation in rack and data center deployments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics EX-QSFP-8LC-AOC15M-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your compatible devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP AOCs and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in device management for access to diagnostic values. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for QSFP AOCs; route the cable in rack channels or cable trays to prevent mechanical stress. No additional transceivers or patching is required because the AOC contains the optical transceivers inside the assembly.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device compatibility with QSFP AOCs before deployment, confirm that the host firmware or driver accepts third-party AOC modules, and keep the QSFP connector dust caps until ready to install. Use the DDM/DOM readouts to monitor link health and plan preventive maintenance; store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
