Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-AL-BO 15 m

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-AL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for short-range, high-bandwidth links in data centers and networking environments. This 15 metre cable implements the 40GBASE-SR4/InfiniBand signalling profile with integrated transmitters and receivers on each module, transmitting optical signals over multi-mode fibre to provide a low-latency, high-throughput connection between QSFP ports.

Advantages

The cable combines the compact QSFP form factor with the signal integrity of active optical modules to deliver consistent 40 Gbit/s performance across 15 metres while reducing electromagnetic interference and heat compared with copper solutions. Compatibility with equipment that supports the Alcatel-Lucent 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP AOC profile enables straightforward plug-and-play installation and reliable interconnects for switches, routers and storage systems. The integrated optical transceivers simplify link design and reduce the need for separate transceivers and patch cords.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within data centers
• InfiniBand fabrics and HPC cluster interconnects requiring low latency
• Storage network connections (FCoE, Fibre Channel over Ethernet) up to 40 Gbit/s
• Short-reach optical connections where multi-mode fibre is standard

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 15 m
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4 / InfiniBand profile)
• Medium: active optical cable using multi-mode fibre
• Integrated transmitter and receiver modules in each QSFP end
• Low-latency design suitable for high-performance networking

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-AL-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the respective QSFP port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support the 40GBASE-SR4/Alcatel-Lucent compatible AOC profile or the equivalent InfiniBand QSFP implementation. Avoid tight bends and maintain recommended bend radius for multi-mode optical assemblies. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm negotiated speed and protocol (40 Gbit/s, InfiniBand or Ethernet) after powering on equipment.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections up to 15 metres. Maintain clean connector interfaces and handle the cable by the connector bodies when plugging or unplugging to avoid stress on the fibre assembly. If interoperability with specific vendor platforms is required, confirm support for the Alcatel-Lucent compatible QSFP AOC profile in the device firmware or vendor documentation before deployment.
