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

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-LO-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends. Designed for high-bandwidth links in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports low-latency, high-speed data transmission over a 15 m reach while maintaining signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This QSFP active optical cable provides consistent throughput and stable operation for InfiniBand and fibre channel applications. The optical design reduces heat and power losses associated with long copper connections and offers enhanced noise immunity. With QSFP male connectors on both ends, the cable enables straightforward plug-and-play installation in compatible switches, servers and network adapters while preserving link quality across its full length.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-capable switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch links in HPC and cluster environments
• High-bandwidth storage and backup networks
• InfiniBand fabrics requiring 15 m reach with reduced latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 15 meters
• Application: InfiniBand and fibre optic networking
• Signal medium: Optical fiber (low EMI susceptibility)
• Designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Inspect both QSFP connectors and the device ports for dust or damage before installation. Align the QSFP plugs with the device receptacles and insert them firmly until the connector latches engage. Use appropriate port configuration on switches and host adapters to enable the intended InfiniBand or fibre channel link. When removing the cable, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the port. Store the cable coiled loosely without tight bends to protect the optical fibers.

Recommendations

Use this 15 m QSFP AOC in environments where reliable, high-throughput links are required and where optical cabling advantages—such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower weight—are desired. Avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and exposure to liquids. Verify compatibility with QSFP ports and firmware requirements of your networking equipment before deployment.
