Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 15 m (MFS1S00-H015-LL-BO)

The Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 15 m is a factory-terminated multimode AOC designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data center and HPC environments. It combines a QSFP56 transceiver form factor with an optical fiber assembly to deliver 200 Gb/s aggregate throughput and low-latency performance across a 15 metre multimode connection. The cable supports direct connectivity between switches, network interface cards and servers where Infiniband HDR signaling is required.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP56 AOC provides high-density, low-power connectivity without the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords. The integrated design reduces insertion points and transport loss compared with copper alternatives over the specified reach, while maintaining signal integrity for low-latency Infiniband HDR links. The 15 m length enables flexible rack-to-rack or across-rack interconnects in modern data center topologies.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP56 connector firmly into compatible QSFP56 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring connectors are fully seated and latching mechanisms engage. Verify link status in the host or switch management interface and confirm that Infiniband HDR lanes are negotiated at the expected speed. Avoid excessive bending of the cable; route it along rack channels or cable management arms to prevent mechanical stress on the optical assembly.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable in environments that require reliable 200 Gb/s short-reach connections and where multimode optical links are supported. Maintain recommended bend radii for multimode fiber, keep connector end-faces clean, and install the cable in managed trays or cable routes to ensure optimal optical performance and service life.
