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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-QL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable provides a compact direct-attach solution for short to medium reach links where low latency and high bandwidth are required. Its optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and supports reliable data transfer between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high throughput with low power consumption and stable link performance over 15 meters. The QSFP connector format enables dense port layouts and straightforward hot-plug connectivity. The optical medium provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over longer distances than equivalent copper assemblies. The integrated design simplifies installation and reduces the need for transceivers and separate fibre patch cords.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between QSFP-enabled switches and routers
• Server-to-switch links in rack and cluster deployments
• Storage system interconnects in SAN and scale-out storage architectures
• High-performance computing (HPC) node interconnects

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male/male)
• Interface: InfiniBand-compatible high-speed link
• Performance: Designed for low latency and high bandwidth transmissions
• Construction: Optical fibre core for EMI immunity and stable signal integrity
• Form factor: Quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) compatible

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure the connected devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer for live insertion. Verify port configuration and link status in device management interfaces to confirm the connection is active. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent movement that could stress connectors.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in equipment that supports QSFP interfaces and InfiniBand protocols. Keep the cable free of kinks, protect connector ends from contamination, and operate within the ambient temperature and handling specifications of your networking hardware to ensure consistent high-speed performance.
