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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-ZA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission in rack and cluster environments. Equipped with QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors on both ends, the cable supports InfiniBand links commonly used in data centres and high-performance computing setups. Its factory-terminated design reduces installation time and ensures consistent signal integrity across the full length.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers stable high-bandwidth performance with low attenuation over a 15 m reach, making it suitable for cross-rack and intra-rack connections. The QSFP-to-QSFP connector pair provides broad compatibility with switches, adapters and host channel adapters that accept QSFP form-factor ports. The pre-terminated AOC construction eliminates the need for field splicing and provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, delivering reliable throughput in dense server rooms.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Low-latency storage and database networks
• Server racks requiring 15 m reach with QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Signal interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Immunity: Resistant to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission
• Application: Designed for short to mid-range high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your devices and insert until the connector latches. Ensure both endpoints are seated securely and that the system ports support the InfiniBand link speed required. No additional transceivers are necessary because the optical components are integrated within the cable assembly. For hot-pluggable devices, connect or disconnect with the system powered according to your hardware vendor's guidelines to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius. Keep the cable clear of high-heat areas and heavy cable bundles to ensure optimal performance. Verify firmware and driver compatibility on connected equipment for full InfiniBand feature support.
