BlueOptics MCP1650-V002E26 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP56 Black

The BlueOptics MCP1650-V002E26 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP56 Black is a short-reach multimode link designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. With QSFP56 male connectors at both ends and a 2 m length, this cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer in dense rack environments and is suitable for modern InfiniBand networks and 200/400 G Ethernet deployments that use QSFP56 interfaces.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides reliable signal integrity for short-distance links and is engineered for tight bend radii common in data center cabling. The QSFP56 connector format enables high-density port packing and straightforward installation into standard QSFP cages. The cable's black jacket offers a neutral color that integrates with existing cable management while the factory-terminated connectors reduce field termination time and potential connection errors.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-switch interconnections
• Server-to-switch links in high-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• High-bandwidth storage area network (SAN) connections
• Short-reach links inside telecommunications racks and equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode fibre optic cable suitable for InfiniBand and QSFP56 interfaces
• Connector type: QSFP56 male to QSFP56 male
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket color: Black
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth data center links

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cable management system ensuring minimum bend radius is maintained. Align each QSFP56 connector with the device port and insert until the connector latches. Verify link status on connected devices and, if required, check transceiver or switch diagnostics for optical link parameters. Avoid excessive pulling force on the cable and secure the jacket to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, use this 2 m QSFP56 fibre cable for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections. Keep the fibre ends clean and protected when not in use, and follow equipment vendor guidance for supported link speeds and compatibility when connecting to InfiniBand or Ethernet QSFP56 ports.
