Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 15 m, compatible with NVIDIA 980-9I44S-00V015

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 15 m, compatible with NVIDIA 980-9I44S-00V015 is a 15-metre multimode active optical cable (AOC) engineered for high-speed Infiniband HDR links. The cable integrates electrical-to-optical conversion in QSFP56 form factor transceivers to deliver up to 200 Gb/s aggregate throughput with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. It is intended for data centre environments where reliable, high-bandwidth interconnects are required between servers, switches and storage systems and is compatible with NVIDIA systems listed under the referenced part number.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC provides high data throughput and low-latency transmission over a 15 m link while keeping power and heat dissipation lower than many copper direct-attach solutions. As an optical assembly with integrated transceivers, it reduces the number of discrete modules required, simplifies cabling, and eliminates signal degradation over the specified distance. The multimode optical design and QSFP56 interface ensure interoperability with standard HDR Infiniband ports and supports the electrical-to-optical conversion necessary for long, high-speed interconnects.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC by inserting each QSFP56 connector into compatible HDR Infiniband ports on the devices to be linked. Ensure that both ends are fully seated and that the latch mechanisms engage. Verify link status through the host or switch management interface and confirm negotiated speed at 200 Gb/s where supported. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer when routing through racks and cable trays.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the specified 15 m distance and in environments that meet server-room temperature and humidity ranges. For best performance, match the AOC to HDR-capable ports and verify firmware or driver compatibility on NVIDIA systems where the part number is referenced. Avoid routing the cable near high-heat components and replace the cable if the connector housing or fiber jacket shows visible damage.
