BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand kuitu-kaapeli 15m QSFP

The BlueOptics JNP-40G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed links in data centre and networking environments. The cable implements a 40GBASE-SR4-compatible multi-mode optical interface with integrated transmitter and receiver pairs on each QSFP end, providing a factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution for short-reach 40 Gbps connections where InfiniBand and 40G Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides a standardized QSFP connection that follows MSA guidelines, delivering consistent signal integrity and reduced connector loss compared with separate transceivers and fibres. As an active optical cable, it integrates optical transceivers at both ends to simplify installation and eliminate the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules. The 15 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connectivity in modern data centre layouts while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than equivalent electrical copper solutions.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both equipment ports support QSFP AOC modules and are configured for 40G operation. With devices powered off or in accordance with your site hot-plug procedures, insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port until it latches. Verify link status indicators on both connected devices and confirm negotiated speed and protocol via management interfaces. No additional configuration is required for the cable itself; the integrated transceivers are recognized as a direct QSFP connection.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multi-mode fibre. Use proper handling to prevent contamination of QSFP connectors—inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces before insertion. Verify hardware compatibility lists for supported platforms and firmware versions when deploying in vendor-specific environments.
