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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-SO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects using QSFP form-factor connectors. It supports low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer suitable for data centre and high-performance computing environments where reliable, long-reach optical links are required. The cable integrates optics and electrical interfaces in a single assembly to simplify installation and reduce the need for transceivers and separate fibre patching.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact QSFP-style connector pair and a 15 m reach that enables flexible rack-to-rack or rack-to-equipment connections without additional transceivers. As an active optical cable, it delivers high throughput with minimal signal degradation over longer distances compared with copper direct-attach cables. The integrated optical modules reduce component count and help maintain consistent signal quality, while the standardized QSFP interface ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts InfiniBand QSFP connections.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links over 15 metres
• Storage area networks (SAN) and distributed storage systems
• Server uplinks and aggregation in dense rack environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data interconnects
• Performance: Designed for low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for data centre use

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding port on the devices and pressing until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated to establish the optical link. No separate transceivers or fibre patching are needed because the optical assemblies are integrated in the cable. Verify link status on connected equipment and confirm correct speed and lane configuration in the host devices or switches. When removing the cable, release the latch mechanism and pull straight out to avoid stressing the connector or cable assembly.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and maximum tensile load. Keep connector endfaces clean and protected when not in use to maintain signal quality. Use this cable in appropriately ventilated racks and avoid routing near high-interference electrical equipment despite the optical nature of the link. For compatibility, confirm that your equipment supports QSFP InfiniBand interfaces and required link speeds before connecting.
