BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand-kuituvalokaapeli 15 m QSFP uros

The BlueOptics QFX-QSFP-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m QSFP Male is a 15-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed, low-latency connections in data centre environments. With QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends, the cable supports short-distance interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems while maintaining signal integrity and consistent throughput required for InfiniBand networks.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding data centre traffic. Its QSFP male connectors enable direct, hot-pluggable links without the need for additional transceivers, reducing hardware complexity. The 15 m length offers flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connectivity while preserving electrical-to-optical conversion benefits such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption across longer runs compared with copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand-enabled switches and leaf/spine network equipment
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low-latency links
• Server-to-storage and storage-to-switch interconnects in data centres
• Short- to medium-distance rack-to-rack cabling in server rooms

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male connectors on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) for InfiniBand
• Length: 15 metres
• Signal characteristics: High-bandwidth, low-latency optical transmission
• Compatibility: Designed for QSFP-compatible InfiniBand ports and equipment
• Interference immunity: Optical transmission resists electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP AOC by aligning each QSFP male connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your switch, server or storage device and inserting until it latches. Ensure that both ends are securely seated and that the connected equipment is powered and configured for InfiniBand operation. For optimal performance, avoid tight bending of the cable and keep it clear of sources of mechanical stress; follow standard data centre cabling practices for routing and strain relief.

Recommendations

Before installation, verify that connected ports support the same InfiniBand data rates and QSFP interface. Handle the connectors by the housing and avoid touching optical interfaces. Use proper cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent kinks; store spare length coiled loosely. Replace the cable if physical damage or persistent link errors occur.
