BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-IB-BO InfiniBand kuitukaapeli 15m pistoke/pistoke

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-IB-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed InfiniBand links. It provides a direct, low-latency connection for servers, switches and storage systems in data centre environments, offering consistent throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and signal integrity over a 15-metre distance while maintaining low power consumption and predictable latency. The QSFP male-to-male terminations simplify integration into existing InfiniBand fabrics and network equipment. Optical transmission reduces heat and interference inside racks and helps maintain stable performance in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting servers and storage in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low-latency links
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server InfiniBand connections within racks or across adjacent racks
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and reduced heat load are important

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 15 metres
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed optical link
• Signal: Optical transmission for reduced EMI and low attenuation
• Typical use: Short to medium-range data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your network equipment until the connector latches. Ensure that ports are powered and that firmware or driver support for QSFP AOC modules is enabled on connected devices. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Verify link status and speed through device management interfaces after connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and protect connectors when routing through racks. Use the cable for links within the specified 15 m range and confirm device compatibility with QSFP active optical modules. Maintain proper airflow in rack environments to preserve optical transceiver performance.
