BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-MR-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-AOC-15M-MR-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for high-speed short-range links. It provides a single-cable solution for connecting switches, servers and storage in data centers where high bandwidth and low latency are required. The cable supports InfiniBand-compatible interconnects and is intended for reliable, low-jitter transmission in dense networking environments.

Advantages

This active QSFP-AOC cable offers simplified installation compared with separate transceiver-and-patch-cord combinations, reducing connector count and potential points of failure. The 15 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connectivity while preserving signal integrity for high-throughput applications. Using QSFP terminations ensures compatibility with QSFP ports and delivers consistent latency characteristics suitable for clustered computing and storage networks.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within 15 m
• Storage area networks and low-latency server interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male/male)
• Length: 15 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Typical performance: Designed for low latency, high bandwidth transmission
• Form factor: Single-cable QSFP assembly for direct port-to-port connection

How to use

Plug each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your devices, ensuring secure engagement until the latch clicks. Verify port compatibility and link status via device management interfaces; no separate transceivers are required. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. When disconnecting, release the latch mechanism before removing the connector to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-range, high-throughput connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive mechanical stress and exposure to liquids or extreme temperatures. Confirm firmware and driver support for QSFP AOC modules on connected devices to ensure full compatibility with InfiniBand protocols.
