BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics H-QSFP+AOC15M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m QSFP Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The cable combines integrated transmitters and receivers at each end to transfer optical signals over multimode fibre and supports 40G data rates when used with compatible QSFP ports and hardware platforms that follow MSA standards.

Advantages

This QSFP AOC delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for short-reach connections up to 15 metres. The integrated optical transceivers reduce the need for separate SFP/QSFP modules and simplify installation while maintaining signal integrity across multimode fibre. Compliance with QSFP form-factor and MSA-aligned interfaces ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that support compatible 40G AOC connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both endpoints have compatible QSFP ports that support AOC connections and the required 40G protocol. Insert each QSFP male connector into the corresponding port until it latches securely. Verify link status and data-rate negotiation on the connected devices according to their management interfaces. For best results, route the cable inside racks or between adjacent racks to stay within the 15-metre maximum reach and avoid tight bends that could stress the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Handle the AOC by the connector housings rather than the cable jacket, maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, and confirm hardware compatibility with 40G QSFP AOC links before deployment. Use in environments with appropriate cooling and secure cable management to preserve signal performance and device interoperability.
