Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M-BO QSFP 15m macho/macho

The BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable QSFP 15 m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-throughput point-to-point connections in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable provides a compact, low-latency link for servers, switches and storage arrays where reliable 40 Gbit/s-class InfiniBand connectivity is required. The cable's construction supports consistent signal integrity over its length while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable offers a lightweight and flexible alternative to direct-attach copper, enabling longer link distances without active transceivers at each end. Its design minimizes insertion loss and maintains stable performance under continuous data loads, making it suitable for dense rack environments. The male-to-male QSFP terminations ensure straightforward installation into compatible ports and a secure physical connection.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s InfiniBand connections between servers and switches
• High-performance computing clusters and parallel processing nodes
• Data centre uplinks and spine-leaf network segments
• Storage array interconnects and SAN fabrics

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP, male on both ends
• Nominal data rate: 40 Gbit/s-class InfiniBand performance
• Length: 15 metres
• Physical attributes: lightweight fibre construction with flexible jacket
• Signal characteristics: low insertion loss, immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding port on the network device until it seats securely. Ensure both devices support the required InfiniBand data rate and QSFP physical interface. Route the 15 m cable to avoid tight bends and sources of mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor. After connection, verify link status on both devices and check throughput with appropriate network diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use the cable in temperature-controlled rack environments and avoid exposure to liquids or abrasive surfaces. For optimal longevity, secure excess cable length with gentle cable management and avoid kinking. Verify firmware and driver compatibility for devices before deployment to ensure full 40 Gbit/s functionality.
