Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 00YL661-BO 15 m QSFP

The BlueOptics 00YL661-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed links in data center and networking environments. It supports 40G class short-range optical transmission over multimode fiber and provides a pre-assembled QSFP-to-QSFP connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching in compatible hardware.

Advantages

This 15 m BlueOptics AOC offers a plug-and-play QSFP to QSFP connection that simplifies installation and reduces cabling complexity. The cable is manufactured to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) mechanical and electrical guidelines, providing interoperability with devices that support QSFP AOC modules. Built with active optical transceivers at each end, the cable transmits and receives optical signals simultaneously and is inherently immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense, high-throughput network topologies.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP ports on switches and routers within a rack or between adjacent racks
• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data center networks
• Storage systems and SAN links that accept QSFP AOC connections
• Environments requiring low-latency, short-range multimode fibre links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported data rate class: 40 G (40GBASE-SR4 class short-range applications)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber for short-range optical transmission
• Connector configuration: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Diagnostics: supports digital diagnostic/monitoring functionality when hosted hardware provides support

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 15 m QSFP AOC by plugging each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latches are engaged. The cable is pre-assembled and requires no additional transceivers or patching; once seated, the devices should recognize the link according to their supported protocols (for example Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and speed configuration. If the connected equipment supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or view diagnostics through the host system to monitor parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Route and secure the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the manufacturer of the AOC and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. Verify that the target devices officially support QSFP AOC connections and, if DDM/DOM features are required, confirm that the hardware firmware provides access to those diagnostic functions.
