BlueOptics ATZ6-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP Orange

The BlueOptics ATZ6-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m QSFP Orange is a 15-metre multimode fibre assembly with QSFP-compatible connectors in a male-to-male configuration designed for high-speed interconnects. It provides a single, unified link for short to medium-range connections in data centres and computing clusters where low latency and high bandwidth are required. The orange jacket indicates a multimode fibre type commonly used for 10/40/100 Gb applications and InfiniBand links, enabling straightforward identification and routing within cable bundles.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers high data throughput and electrical isolation typical of optical links, reducing interference and improving signal integrity over copper alternatives. The QSFP-compatible terminations allow compatibility with QSFP ports used by switches, host adapters and transceivers, simplifying deployment in existing InfiniBand or high-speed Ethernet infrastructures. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf connections while the durable jacket supports repeated handling and organised cable management.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support QSFP optics or QSFP-compatible interfaces and that the multimode fibre specification is appropriate for the target link speed and distance. Route the cable through cable trays or management organisers to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert each QSFP-terminated end into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats securely; follow device vendor guidance for locking or retention mechanisms. After installation, perform link validation using the host or switch diagnostics to confirm proper signal levels, link status and negotiated speeds.

Recommendations

Maintain minimum bend radii specified for multimode fibre, avoid excessive tensile strain, and keep connector endfaces clean and protected until final mating. Use appropriate transceiver modules and port configurations that match the multimode fibre class to ensure reliable InfiniBand or high-speed Ethernet operation.
