BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CI-BO InfiniBand-kaapeli 15m uros/uros

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CI-BO InfiniBand Cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand connections in data centers and enterprise networks. With QSFP male connectors on both ends, this cable supports reliable, low-latency data transmission between switches, servers and storage systems. The AOC design uses optical fibers and integrated transceivers to maintain signal integrity over longer distances than copper alternatives while keeping power consumption and electromagnetic interference low.

Advantages

This InfiniBand AOC provides consistent high-bandwidth performance with low latency, suitable for demanding network traffic. The integrated QSFP transceivers simplify installation by eliminating separate optical modules, and the molded connectors and cable jacket are built to withstand rack-mounted environments. Because the cable is optical, it reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and can offer better performance at 15 metres than comparable copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP-enabled switches and network adapters in data center racks
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Interconnecting servers and storage arrays for fast data replication and backup
• Short to mid-range optical links where active optical cabling is preferred over transceivers plus patch cords

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Media type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Target interface: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for HPC and storage networks
• EMI characteristics: Immune to electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CI-BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into the QSFP ports of the devices to be linked. Ensure both devices support the required InfiniBand speeds and QSFP form factor. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer; secure the cable to avoid strain on connectors. No separate transceivers or additional patch cords are required, as the active optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, verify compatibility with your switches and host adapters before installation, observe proper handling to avoid fiber damage, and follow rack-cable management best practices to prevent excessive bending or tension. Use this cable in environments where optical immunity to interference and low-latency links are needed.
