BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-IA-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 15m conector/conector

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-IA-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15‑metre active optical cable designed for short to mid‑range high-bandwidth interconnects. With QSFP connectors on both ends, the cable supports InfiniBand protocols and provides a factory‑assembled, plug‑and‑play solution that removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its single cable assembly reduces rack clutter and simplifies connections between switches, servers and storage systems in data centre and high‑performance computing environments.

Advantages

The cable integrates optical transceivers within the assembly for consistent signal performance and reduced power and space requirements compared with discrete optics. Its male‑to‑male QSFP terminations provide straightforward hot‑swap connectivity and eliminate compatibility concerns related to multiple component parts. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability, enabling flexible placement of equipment while maintaining low latency and high throughput suitable for InfiniBand networks.

Suitable for

• High‑performance computing clusters
• Data centre switch‑to‑switch and switch‑to‑server links
• Storage area network interconnects
• Low‑latency financial trading and research networks
• Short to mid‑range rack and row cabling in controlled environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) with integrated optics
• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported protocol: InfiniBand
• Typical use: high‑bandwidth, low‑latency interconnects
• Form factor: compact QSFP assembly for high port density

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on networking equipment until the latch engages. The active optical assembly is pre‑configured, so no additional configuration or transceiver installation is required. Verify link status via the host device and arrange the cable to avoid sharp bends and compression; follow equipment vendor guidelines for maximum bend radius and airflow considerations.

Recommendations

Use the cable in temperature‑controlled data centre or lab environments, maintain recommended bend radius, and avoid exposure to contaminants. For compatibility, ensure network devices support QSFP AOC connections and InfiniBand signalling; refer to equipment documentation for firmware and port settings.
