BlueOptics InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli 15 m QSFP akvanvärinen

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP Aqua colour is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP to QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed short-range optical links. It supports multimode fiber transmission and conforms to MSA-compatible QSFP interfaces for 40 Gbps class applications. Built as a pre-assembled QSFP AOC in an aqua jacket, the cable combines transmitter and receiver modules on each end to carry optical signals over a 15 m link without requiring separate transceivers or patching.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-assembled QSFP-to-QSFP connection that reduces installation work and point-to-point attenuation compared with separate transceivers and patch cords. As an active optical cable it integrates optical transmitters and receivers at both ends to enable reliable multimode optical data transfer suitable for data center and networking equipment. The aqua-coloured jacket simplifies identification in structured cabling environments and the 15 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed short-range interconnects in data centers
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-router 40 Gbps links
• Storage systems and server uplinks requiring QSFP interfaces
• Environments where pre-assembled multimode AOCs reduce cabling work

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Connector type: QSFP (male) to QSFP (male)
• Length: 15 meters
• Data rate class: suitable for 40 Gbps class applications (40GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Colour: Aqua
• Integrated components: transmitter and receiver modules at each end for optical signal transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 15 m QSFP AOC by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the hardware vendor if live insertion is supported. Verify link status and any optical diagnostics in the host equipment to confirm proper operation. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required; the pre-assembled cable provides a direct optical connection between QSFP ports.

Recommendations

Verify that your networking equipment supports QSFP AOC modules and the targeted 40G class protocol before deployment. Keep the cable jacket free from sharp bends and follow the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment or cable manufacturer. If your hardware supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and check diagnostic readings to monitor optical power and temperature for proactive maintenance.
