Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501-BO 15 m

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m is a direct-attach active optical cable designed for 40G high-speed data transmission between QSFP ports. With QSFP connectors on both ends and a 15 metre length, the cable offers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for data centre interconnects and high-performance computing clusters. The active optical design reduces signal degradation over longer distances compared with passive copper alternatives while maintaining compact QSFP form-factor compatibility.

Advantages

This 15 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable supports 40G data rates and provides stable, male-to-male QSFP connectivity for short- to medium-range links. The active optical construction offers improved signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference, while the lightweight cable and QSFP terminations simplify handling and installation in dense rack environments. Its design is compatible with QSFP ports used in switches, servers and network adapters that accept QSFP active optical cables.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment such as switches, routers or server adapters. Ensure ports are powered down or that hot-plug procedures recommended by equipment manufacturers are followed to avoid transients. Secure the cable routing to prevent sharp bends and provide strain relief at the terminations. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation to confirm 40G operation.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments with proper airflow and temperature control typical for data centres. Avoid tight bends and compressive forces near the connectors. Confirm compatibility with the QSFP ports on your equipment and firmware versions where vendor interoperability is required. For runs longer than 15 m, consider optical transceivers with single-mode fibre or alternative cabling solutions.
