AOC Cable BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M-CT-BO 15m QSFP Male/Male

The AOC Cable BlueOptics AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M-CT-BO 15m QSFP Male/Male is a 15 meter active optical cable designed for high-speed short-range links. It uses QSFP connectors on both ends and supports 40G-class data transmission over multimode fiber. The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers at each end to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, providing a factory-terminated plug-and-play interconnect suitable for data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers reliable 40G connectivity with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its QSFP-to-QSFP form factor follows industry mechanical standards for interoperability with devices that accept QSFP transceivers or QSFP AOC ports. The pre-terminated optical link simplifies installation and removes the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching for supported systems.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both network devices have QSFP AOC-compatible ports. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends in the cable body; maintain recommended bend radii for optical fiber. Insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding port until it seats and the latch engages. After powering the connected devices, verify link status and negotiate the appropriate 40G interface settings in the device management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this BlueOptics QSFP AOC in environments within the manufacturer’s specified temperature range, avoid excessive mechanical stress on connectors, and verify compatibility with the host hardware platform's supported AOC models before deployment.
