BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-HW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-HW-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m Male/Male is a 15‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP connectors designed for high‑speed interconnects in data centres and networking environments. The cable uses multimode fibre with integrated optical transmitter and receiver modules in each QSFP end, enabling 40G data transmission over a short reach up to 15 metres. It is built to meet common MSA QSFP form‑factor requirements and is compatible with systems that accept Huawei QSFP‑H40G‑AOC15M‑HW style 40GBASE‑SR4 AOC modules.

Advantages

This AOC provides low latency and minimal signal loss for short‑reach 40G connections while eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords. The integrated QSFP‑to‑QSFP design simplifies cabling between switches, routers and storage systems and reduces installation complexity. Its 15 m length offers flexibility for rack‑to‑rack and intra‑rack connections in structured cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector securely into the corresponding QSFP port on network switches, routers or storage devices while the equipment is powered down or following the vendor’s hot‑plug guidance. Ensure the connector latches engage and that port LEDs indicate a valid link according to the host device. Use cable management to route the AOC without excessive bending; follow the minimum bend radius guidance from the equipment or cable supplier.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware before deployment and, if required, confirm support for Huawei‑style QSFP AOCs in the device firmware or vendor documentation. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, keep the cable free from sharp edges, and maintain proper airflow in rack environments.
