BlueOptics BO252503K15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP

The BlueOptics BO252503K15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP is a 15-metre multimode fibre cable with QSFP-compatible connectors designed for high-throughput, low-latency interconnects in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable provides a male-to-male QSFP interface for direct connections between InfiniBand switches, host channel adapters and QSFP ports on network devices. Engineered for stable signal transmission across a 15 m link, it minimises attenuation and preserves signal integrity for demanding networking tasks.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable supports QSFP interfaces to deliver high data rates with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference typical of optical links. Its 15 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections while keeping insertion loss within expected ranges for multimode setups. The male-to-male configuration simplifies direct device-to-device connections without additional adapters, and the fibre construction ensures immunity to ground loops and electrical noise.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on the network devices, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and firmly seated until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius for multimode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Verify link status on connected devices and, if required, perform standard diagnostics such as link testing and throughput verification to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid tight bends and protect connector endfaces from dust and contamination by using dust caps when the cable is not connected. Use appropriate cable management in racks to prevent strain and inspect connectors before installation. Match the cable type and QSFP interface with device specifications to ensure compatibility with InfiniBand speeds and transceiver requirements.
