Product Description

This 15-meter active optical fiber cable is built for high-speed InfiniBand FDR networks, commonly used in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. It connects IBM System x servers and Mellanox switches or adapters, providing a robust link that handles demanding workloads with minimal latency.

Often found in environments where large data throughput and fast communication between nodes are critical, this cable benefits system administrators and IT professionals who need reliable, high bandwidth interconnects.

Key Features

  • Delivers 56 Gbps bandwidth suitable for FDR InfiniBand applications
  • Active optical design reduces signal degradation over longer distances
  • Compatible with IBM System x and Mellanox devices ensuring seamless integration
  • Maintains low latency essential for cluster computing and data exchange
  • 15-meter length balances distance capability with signal integrity

This cable is commonly deployed in data centers where servers and storage arrays require fast, stable connections across moderate distances. It plays a critical role in environments handling intensive data processing, enabling smooth, high-throughput communication between components. Its active optical nature helps maintain performance that traditional copper cables can’t reliably achieve at this length.


Use Cases

This active optical fiber cable is suited for high-performance networking and computing scenarios where fast, reliable data transfer is critical.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting IBM System x servers in data center clusters
  • Facilitating high-speed interconnects in HPC (High-Performance Computing) environments
  • Linking storage systems requiring low latency access
  • Extending server connections beyond the reach of copper cables
  • Supporting data-intensive applications such as virtualization and large-scale analytics

Its long reach and high data rate capabilities make it a valuable component for enterprises aiming to optimize their server and storage network performance.
