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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity designed for high-speed links in data center and networking environments. It supports 40G transmission using multimode fiber with integrated transceivers at each end, providing a single-cable solution for short-reach 40G links where QSFP interfaces are available.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP AOC delivers consistent 40G data transfer rates over a 15 m multimode link while maintaining low power consumption and simplified physical connectivity compared with discrete transceivers and separate patch cords. The integrated transmitter and receiver modules reduce component count and potential points of failure, and the male-to-male QSFP connectors ensure direct plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP 40G modules. The fixed-cable design helps manage airflow and cabling density in racks.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-AOC-15M-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support 40G QSFP AOC modules and that port settings (speed and protocol) match the intended application. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; the active optical design eliminates the need for separate transceivers or patch panels. If devices require specific firmware or vendor compatibility settings, verify those before deployment.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 15 m QSFP AOC in short-reach links in rack or row environments and avoid exposing the cable to tight bends or mechanical stress. Confirm compatibility with your switches, routers or storage systems that accept QSFP 40G AOCs, and test connectivity after installation to validate link speed and protocol operation.
