Kuitukaapeli BlueOptics P06153-B22-BO QSFP56–QSFP56, 5 m, oranssi

BlueOptics P06153-B22-BO is a 5 m active fibre optic cable with QSFP56 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. The orange, multi-mode cable supports QSFP56 module interfaces and follows MSA-compatible implementations for up to 200 Gbit/s links. Lightweight and color-coded, the cable is intended for dense cabling environments such as data centres and HPC racks where clear identification and compact routing are important.

Advantages

The cable integrates transmitter and receiver electronics in each QSFP56 plug to enable Active Optical Cable (AOC) operation over multi-mode fibre, providing a low-latency optical connection for short-reach 200GBASE-SR4 applications. Its standardized QSFP56 form factor ensures physical compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP56 ports. The orange jacket offers clear visual identification to simplify installation and maintenance in multi-cable environments. At 5 m length the cable balances reach and signal integrity for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56–QSFP56 AOC by aligning and inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or ports support hot-plugging according to vendor guidance before insertion. Verify link status and negotiated speed on both connected devices after installation. Remove the cable by pressing the connector latch and pulling straight out to avoid stressing the plug or port.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m active optical cable for short-reach high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Observe proper handling for optical modules: avoid sharp bends, protect connectors from dust when not in use, and confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's QSFP56 port specifications and supported link protocols (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, or SDH/SONET where applicable).
