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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-CO-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transfer in data centers and network environments. It provides a single-cable solution for short- to mid-range connections where InfiniBand interfaces are used, combining optical transmission with plug-and-play QSFP connectivity to reduce electromagnetic interference and support dense rack deployments.

Advantages

This 15 m active optical cable offers consistent high-bandwidth performance suitable for InfiniBand links, with the compact QSFP form factor that eases installation in crowded server racks. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electrical noise and ground loop issues compared with copper alternatives, enabling reliable, low-latency communication. The male-to-male QSFP ends provide straightforward device-to-device connections without additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• High-throughput interconnects between switches, servers, and storage with InfiniBand interfaces
• Data center rack-to-rack and within-rack connections up to 15 metres
• Low-latency computing clusters and HPC (high-performance computing) environments
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced cable bulk

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: QSFP (male) on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Transmission medium: Fibre optic

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP InfiniBand ports before installation. Align each QSFP male connector with the device port and insert until it seats securely; use the connector latch or release mechanism according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, keeping a minimum bend radius as recommended for optical cables. No additional transceivers are required—once connected, verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated link speed and health.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Maintain a gentle bend radius and secure the cable to reduce stress and movement in rack environments. When cleaning is necessary, use approved fibre optic cleaning tools and follow equipment vendor guidelines. Verify compatibility with the host equipment and review link diagnostics after installation to ensure optimal performance.
