BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-F5-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 15m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-F5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks. Equipped with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links suited to InfiniBand environments. Its optical construction delivers reliable signal integrity over the full 15 m length while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high throughput with consistent latency characteristics required for storage clusters, HPC and switch-to-switch connections. The male-to-male QSFP connectors simplify installation into standard QSFP ports without adapters. Optical transmission reduces weight and bending stiffness compared with equivalent copper assemblies, and the longer 15 m reach allows flexible rack placement and equipment spacing in modern data centre layouts.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects between switches, servers and storage nodes
• High-performance computing clusters and low-latency fabrics
• Data centre uplinks and cross-rack connections requiring 15 m reach
• Environments needing optical links to avoid electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Designed for: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Signal medium: Multi-mode optical transmission suitable for short to medium reach

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it clicks into place. Ensure both endpoints support the same InfiniBand link speed and port type. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to racks or cable managers as required. No additional transceivers are needed when using this active optical cable, but verify compatibility with your host devices and firmware versions before deployment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bundling and maintain proper airflow around networking equipment. Confirm port firmware and configuration for InfiniBand link negotiation, and inspect connector endfaces before installation to prevent contamination-related signal loss.
