BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP Male/Male is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-speed short-reach links in data centre and networking environments where InfiniBand or 40G interconnects are required. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver elements on both ends and uses multimode optical transmission suitable for supporting up to 40 Gbps class applications over a 1 m link.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a compact, low-latency connection with QSFP male connectors on both ends for direct device-to-device links. As an active optical cable it reduces electromagnetic interference and allows for high-density rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch cabling in constrained spaces. The 1 m length simplifies short interconnect deployments while supporting standard multi-gigabit protocols.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers with QSFP ports
• High-speed InfiniBand links in compute clusters and storage networks
• 40G Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode transmission
• Supported data rates: up to 40 Gbps class applications
• Typical use: short-reach data centre and network interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports and that the platform supports active optical QSFP AOCs. Align each QSFP connector with the port and insert until it seats securely according to the device vendor’s guidance. Verify link status in the host equipment and configure the interface according to the required protocol (Ethernet, InfiniBand or Fibre Channel over Ethernet). Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connector to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules and follow equipment vendor instructions for insertion, removal and firmware/driver requirements to ensure reliable operation.
