BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-RW-BO InfiniBand/optický kabel 15 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-RW-BO is a 15‑metre active optical cable with QSFP male connectors at both ends, designed for InfiniBand and high‑speed fibre optic links. It provides a ready‑to‑use, low‑latency connection between compatible QSFP ports without the need for separate transceivers. The cable is built for data centre and enterprise networking use, offering consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high throughput and low power consumption while maintaining a compact, flexible form factor suitable for dense rack environments. Its optical construction ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports stable links over the full 15‑metre length. The integrated QSFP male ends simplify installation and reduce component count compared with discrete transceiver plus fibre assemblies.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP ports on switches and routers in data centres
• Linking servers and storage arrays requiring InfiniBand or high‑speed fibre connections
• High‑density rack installations where cable flexibility and small bend radius are needed
• Short‑reach optical interconnects up to 15 metres

Key specifications

• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and compatible high‑speed fibre interfaces
• Signal type: optical, immune to electromagnetic interference
• Form factor: compact, suitable for dense rack cabling

How to use

Install by inserting each QSFP male connector into corresponding QSFP ports on networking devices while the devices are powered according to vendor guidelines. Verify link status through device management interfaces after seating both ends. Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the cable; route the cable through intended cable trays or management arms to maintain recommended bend radius and airflow. No separate transceivers or patch cables are required when using this integrated AOC.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within the specified 15‑metre range and maintain proper bend radius. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC connections and ensure firmware or driver support for the intended InfiniBand or fibre protocol. Store and handle the cable to prevent sharp kinks and protect connector ferrules when not connected.
