BlueOptics InfiniBand / fibre optic cable QSFP56 to QSFP56, 15 m, orange

BlueOptics InfiniBand / fibre optic cable QSFP56 to QSFP56, 15 m, orange is a 15-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed links in InfiniBand and 200/400G Ethernet environments. The cable features male QSFP56 connectors on both ends and an orange jacket for quick visual identification. With a lightweight construction (0.23 kg) and multimode optical transmission, it is intended for data centre interconnects and high-performance computing links where compact, standards-compliant QSFP56 connections are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standards-based QSFP56-to-QSFP56 active optical connection suitable for short-reach multimode applications, delivering up to 200 Gbit/s per link where supported. The orange jacket improves rack and cable management by making the line easy to identify. Its 15 m length allows flexible routing between racks or equipment rows while keeping signal integrity through integrated optical transceivers in each connector. The lightweight design reduces strain on patch panels and cable managers.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP56 connector with the corresponding QSFP56 port on your equipment and gently inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP56 ports that support the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 200G Ethernet). Route the 15 m cable along cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment or fibre manufacturer. Verify link status and negotiated speed on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable in environments where short-reach, high-bandwidth links are required and where QSFP56 interfaces are supported. Keep the orange jacket clean and avoid kinking the fibre; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on ports. Confirm compatibility with your hardware and firmware revisions before deployment and perform link validation after installation.
