BlueOptics 40GB-F15-QSFP-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics 40GB-F15-QSFP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15 m male-to-male QSFP assembly designed for high-speed data transmission in data center and networking environments. Constructed to support InfiniBand signalling and high bandwidth links, this cable connects QSFP-enabled devices such as switches, network adapters and storage appliances. Its 15-metre length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and intra-room interconnects while maintaining signal integrity for latency-sensitive applications.

Advantages

This QSFP male-to-male fibre cable provides a reliable physical link for 40 Gbps-class InfiniBand connections, combining wide bandwidth capacity with low insertion loss and stable optical performance. The push-pull QSFP connectors ensure secure mating and easy handling during installation or maintenance. The cable construction balances flexibility and durability to withstand typical data center routing and reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack high-speed interconnects in data centers
• Connecting QSFP-enabled switches, HBA/NIC adapters and storage systems
• Low-latency computing clusters and HPC interconnects
• Network aggregation and spine-leaf topologies

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed optical link
• Rated data rate class: 40 Gbps-class optical connectivity
• Cable form: multimode fibre compatible with QSFP optical transceivers
• Typical use: short to medium distance intra-facility connections

How to use

Route the cable between QSFP ports on compatible equipment, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension. Align the QSFP connector keying with the device port and insert until the connector engages; use the connector latch or push-pull mechanism to secure the connection. For removal, release the latch and withdraw the connector in a straight motion. Verify link status on connected devices after installation to confirm optical link training and proper operation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in a clean environment, keep connectors capped when not in use, and follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for QSFP port handling. Avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius and protect against sharp edges and heavy crushing to preserve optical performance.
