BlueOptics CBL-QSFP-40GE-15M-F10-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male

The BlueOptics CBL-QSFP-40GE-15M-F10-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-speed multimode optical transmission and follows MSA-compatible QSFP to QSFP connection standards. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to support optical signal transfer with low insertion loss and consistent performance across the full 15 m length, making it suitable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in rack and data center environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC supports 40G data rates and is compatible with 40GBASE-SR4 applications, providing a single-cable solution for high-throughput interconnects. The QSFP-to-QSFP configuration reduces connector transitions compared with separate transceivers plus fiber patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. Constructed for multimode operation with integrated optics, the cable delivers predictable signal integrity and is intended for use where consistent short-reach performance and plug-and-play connectivity are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on networking equipment until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are seated fully and that connected devices are powered and configured for 40G operation. The cable is plug-and-play with supported hardware; no separate transceivers or additional fiber patching are required. Observe standard handling precautions for optical transceivers and cables: avoid sharp bends, protect connector endfaces from contamination, and do not apply excessive tensile force to the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Deploy this 15 m QSFP-to-QSFP AOC for short-reach 40G links inside racks or across adjacent racks. Verify device compatibility with 40GBASE-SR4 or QSFP-native ports and keep connector endfaces clean. Avoid routing near high-electrical-noise equipment and maintain bend radius guidelines to preserve optical performance.
