BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-PT-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 15m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-PT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male provides a 15-metre active optical connection using QSFP form-factor connectors. Designed for InfiniBand networks and high-density data centre interconnects, this cable supports high-speed data transmission over a reliable, low-latency optical link. The male-to-male QSFP ends ensure compatibility with standard QSFP ports on switches, host adapters and other networking equipment while eliminating the need for separate transceivers.

Advantages

The cable combines active optical technology with a compact QSFP interface to reduce heat and power demands compared with equivalent copper assemblies. Its 15 m length offers flexible rack-to-rack or pod-to-pod connectivity across server rooms, and the single-cable, direct-connect design simplifies installation and reduces points of failure. The construction is intended for continuous operation in demanding environments and provides consistent signal integrity over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• High-performance InfiniBand clusters and HPC interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Low-latency storage area networks (SAN)
• Consolidated cabling between racks and equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Use environment: Data centres and networking racks

How to use

Install by gently aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port and inserting until the latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your network equipment vendor when connecting or disconnecting. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, keeping bend radius within manufacturer guidance to preserve optical performance. Verify link status and expected data rates after installation using network management tools or device LEDs.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment, avoid excessive twisting, and maintain minimum bend radius. Use the 15 m active optical cable for mid-range rack interconnects where fibre distance and low latency are priorities.
