Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-BC-BO 15 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-BC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data center and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, the cable provides a compact, low-latency link for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or server-to-storage connections. Its design supports demanding bandwidth requirements while maintaining signal integrity over a 15 m reach.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high data throughput with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The QSFP form factor delivers a dense, hot-pluggable connector interface suitable for rack-mounted equipment. The 15 m length allows flexible placement of network devices without additional transceivers or separate fiber patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP ports on switches and routers in data centers
• Direct server-to-switch links in HPC and enterprise environments
• Connecting storage arrays and compute nodes requiring low-latency links
• Short- to medium-reach optical runs inside racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Typical characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable QSFP interface for dense installations

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-BC-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure that devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the device manufacturer if connecting live. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed and health. No separate transceivers or external fiber patching is required for direct QSFP-to-QSFP connections using this AOC.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance. Use this AOC for in-rack and short inter-rack runs where a 15 m length is appropriate, and verify compatibility with device QSFP port specifications and InfiniBand link requirements before deployment.
