Fibre optic InfiniBand cable BlueOptics P06153-B24-BO, QSFP56–QSFP56, 15 m, orange

BlueOptics P06153-B24-BO is a 15 m fibre optic InfiniBand active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP56 connectors on both ends. Designed for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects, this orange-jacketed cable provides a factory-terminated multi-mode fibre link suitable for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and direct-attach data centre connections. The cable assembly includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules to support QSFP56-compatible ports and established MSA form-factor interfaces.

Advantages

The cable supports high aggregate throughput up to 200 Gbit/s and is compatible with QSFP56-based network adapters and switches. Its lightweight 0.23 kg construction and flexible orange jacket simplify routing and installation in dense rack environments. As an active optical cable, it extends reliable short-reach multi-mode optical transmission without the need for separate transceivers, reducing connector count and simplifying port provisioning.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP56 end into the corresponding QSFP56 ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the port orientation and latch engage securely. The active modules are hot-pluggable; once inserted, device firmware and operating system should detect the link and configure the interface according to the host platform. Verify port speed and lane configuration on both ends and, if required, adjust switch or host adapter settings to enable 200G or lower aggregate speeds supported by the connected hardware.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors. Use in environments and hardware that officially support QSFP56 AOC modules and verify compatibility with device vendor documentation. Limit use to runs within the specified 15 m maximum to maintain the stated 200 Gbit/s capability and multimode signal integrity.
