The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-LE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnections in data centre and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports the signalling and power profile typical for InfiniBand links and is intended to replace copper or transceiver-based links where longer reach and electromagnetic immunity are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides stable, high-speed data transmission over 15 metres while maintaining low power consumption and minimal signal degradation. Its QSFP male-to-male connectors enable direct connection between compatible QSFP ports without separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying rack cabling. The optical design offers improved electromagnetic immunity and thermal characteristics compared with equivalent copper assemblies, supporting reliable operation in dense networking racks.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and InfiniBand host channel adapters in server racks
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low-latency links
• Data centre spine and leaf connections where 15 m reach is needed
• Network equipment requiring QSFP male-to-male optical links

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Media: active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Signal characteristics: designed for low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission
• Immunity: resistant to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Insert each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages and the connector is fully seated. Verify that the connected devices recognise the optical link and confirm link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it using cable management to prevent strain on connectors. For installation in live environments, follow site policies for hot-plug procedures and monitor link operation after deployment.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 15 m QSFP AOC for medium-reach links where low latency and EMI immunity are priorities. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer and avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends. Store and handle the cable by the connector housings when possible and inspect connectors for debris before insertion.
