BlueOptics InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel QSFP56 naar QSFP56 15 m oranje

BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP56 to QSFP56 15 m in orange is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short to mid-range optical connections. The cable integrates QSFP56 male-to-male connectors at both ends and supports multimode optical transmission, providing a lightweight and compact solution for data centre interconnects, server racks and switch-to-switch links that require reliable 200 Gbit/s class connectivity over a 15 m span.

Advantages

This AOC combines transmitter and receiver modules in a single assembly to simplify installation and ensure consistent optical performance without separate transceivers. The QSFP56 interfaces conform to common MSA-compatible connector standards, enabling interoperability with equipment that accepts QSFP56 AOC connections. A slim, low-weight cable construction reduces strain on rack equipment and improves airflow in dense installations, while the bright orange jacket makes routing and identification straightforward in complex cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting the QSFP56 connectors into compatible QSFP56 ports on your switches, routers or server adapters until the latching mechanism engages. No separate SFP/QSFP transceivers are required because optical transmitter and receiver components are built into the cable assembly. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain recommended bend radius for multimode AOCs and secure the cable to rack fixtures as needed to prevent tugging. The cable is ready for immediate use once connected and will present as an inline AOC to supported host equipment.

Recommendations

Verify equipment compatibility with QSFP56 AOC modules and ensure the target ports support the appropriate 200G class link protocols (Ethernet, InfiniBand or other supported standards). Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, moisture or mechanical stress; follow manufacturer guidelines for minimum bend radius and handling. For best signal integrity in dense installations, plan routing to minimize crossing and compression, and label both ends for quick identification during maintenance.
