BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-0201 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-0201 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP is a 2-metre multimode link designed for 40 Gbps high-speed interconnects in data centers and professional networking environments. It features QSFP-compatible terminations tailored for InfiniBand topology, enabling high-throughput, low-latency connections between switches, servers and storage arrays. The cable is built to meet industry expectations for signal integrity and reliable optical transmission over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This 2 m fibre optic cable supports aggregate data rates up to 40 Gbps and is compatible with QSFP interfaces commonly used in InfiniBand and 40 Gigabit Ethernet equipment. Its multimode optical construction reduces insertion loss and preserves signal quality for demanding workloads. The product offers a compact, flexible design suitable for dense rack deployments and provides consistent performance for high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP ports on switches and servers
• High-bandwidth links in data centre top-of-rack and leaf-spine architectures
• Connecting storage arrays and compute nodes with InfiniBand interfaces
• Short-reach optical runs where 40 Gbps throughput and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: QSFP-compatible terminations for InfiniBand
• Supported data rate: 40 Gbps
• Optical medium: multimode fibre
• Typical use case range: short to medium reach within racks and across adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each QSFP termination into the corresponding QSFP port on your networking devices, ensuring alignment and that latches or retention mechanisms engage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Power and configure the connected devices according to their InfiniBand or 40 Gigabit Ethernet settings to enable the link.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks and verify device compatibility with QSFP InfiniBand interfaces. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius and protect connector endfaces from dust; inspect and clean them when necessary to maintain signal quality.
