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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-VA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and networking environments. It supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, routers, servers and storage systems where InfiniBand connectivity is required. The cable assembly provides a single-cable solution that integrates optical transceivers and fibre, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and discrete fibre patch leads.

Advantages

This 15 m BlueOptics AOC offers stable signal integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference due to its optical design, enabling reliable long-reach connections inside racks and across adjacent racks. Being an active optical cable with integrated QSFP modules reduces equipment space and simplifies installation, while lowering power consumption compared with some active electrical alternatives. The pre-terminated Male-to-Male QSFP ends ensure plug-and-play deployment and consistent performance over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links using InfiniBand
• Data centre interconnects across racks or rows requiring 15 m reach
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and storage networks
• Environments needing low-latency, high-bandwidth fibre connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (male to male)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 metres
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand
• Application: Short to medium range data centre interconnect
• Signal: Optical fibre, immune to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-VA-BO by plugging each QSFP male connector directly into the corresponding QSFP ports on your network devices. Ensure both endpoints support InfiniBand QSFP interfaces and that the link settings on switches or hosts are configured for the intended data rate and protocol. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow device manufacturer recommendations for connector insertion and removal to prevent damage. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required for basic operation.

Recommendations

Use this 15 m AOC for in-rack and cross-rack connections where a reliable optical InfiniBand link is needed. Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and verify firmware and driver compatibility on connected devices to ensure optimal performance.
