BlueOptics QSFP-40G-15M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m OSFP QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-15M-RC-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15‑meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high‑speed links between QSFP/OSFP ports. With QSFP male connectors on both ends and multimode optical transceivers integrated in the cable ends, it supports 40G data rates and follows MSA compatibility guidelines for use in data center switching, routing and storage equipment that accept QSFP‑to‑QSFP AOC connections.

Advantages

This 15 m BlueOptics AOC provides low‑latency, high‑bandwidth connectivity with integrated transmitter and receiver modules for reliable optical signal transfer. The pre‑terminated design removes the need for separate transceivers and patching, simplifying deployment and reducing point‑to‑point cabling complexity. Compliance with common QSFP/MSA form factor standards ensures interoperability with hardware platforms that support compatible 40GBASE‑SR4 AOC links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP‑40G‑15M‑RC‑BO by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP or compatible OSFP port on your network device. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by the hardware vendor for transceiver modules and AOCs. Verify link status and port configuration in the device management interface to confirm the 40G link is active and correctly negotiated for the intended protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or InfiniBand).

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short‑reach, high‑bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your specific switch, router or storage vendor and verify firmware or platform support for third‑party AOCs where required. Maintain proper cable routing to avoid tight bends and secure connectors to prevent strain on ports.
