BlueOptics MCP1650-H002E26 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP56 Black

The BlueOptics MCP1650-H002E26 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP56 in black is a high-performance interconnect designed for short-range, high-throughput networking environments. It provides a compact QSFP56 connector interface and a 2 metre fibre link suitable for high-density racks, switch-to-switch links, and server connections where InfiniBand protocols are used. The cable is intended to deliver consistent signal integrity and reduced latency for data centre and enterprise networking setups.

Advantages

This QSFP56 fibre optic cable supports high data rates with stable transmission characteristics and low insertion loss. Its 2 m length offers flexibility for neat rack management and short-path interconnects, while the compact black jacket helps with cable identification and routing. The cable is compatible with systems that use QSFP56 interfaces, providing a reliable physical layer for InfiniBand links.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand connections between switches and servers
• Data centre top-of-rack and leaf-spine cabling
• Short-distance interconnects in enterprise networking environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP56 on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Cable type: Multimode fibre suitable for short-range high-bandwidth links
• Colour: Black jacket for easy routing and identification
• Designed for: InfiniBand protocol and compatible high-speed networking hardware
• Performance: Low insertion loss and high signal integrity for reduced latency

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the QSFP56 connectors into the appropriate ports on compatible network devices until they engage securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. Ensure both transceiver ports and host interfaces are powered down or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by the hardware vendor when connecting or disconnecting to prevent link negotiation issues.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep fibre endfaces clean and protected when not in use; use appropriate cleaning tools and dust caps. Verify compatibility with the specific InfiniBand hardware and transceivers in use, and use structured cable management to minimize stress and interference for optimal signal performance.
