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

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0201 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m Black is a high-speed duplex cable designed for short-range, high-throughput connections in data centres and computing clusters. With QSFP male connectors on both ends, the cable supports 40 Gbps class InfiniBand links and is intended for use where reliable, low-latency optical interconnects are required. The 2-metre length and black jacket make it suitable for structured cabling in racks and server cabinets while keeping signal integrity and mechanical protection.

Advantages

This BlueOptics InfiniBand cable offers stable 40 Gbps-class optical transmission with low insertion loss and consistent performance across compatible QSFP ports. The factory-assembled duplex fibre and robust outer jacket provide mechanical durability and ease of installation in dense equipment environments. The standardized QSFP-to-QSFP connection ensures interoperability with networking switches, host adapters, and storage devices designed for InfiniBand optical links.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects between switches and compute nodes
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and server-to-server links
• Storage area network (SAN) backbones requiring low latency
• Structured rack cabling where a 2 m optical patch is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Rated data rate: 40 Gbps-class InfiniBand links
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: Black outer jacket
• Jacket: Durable protective outer sheath suitable for rack environments

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-QSFP cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your networking equipment and inserting until it seats securely. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP ports that support 40 Gbps InfiniBand signalling. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and physical strain on the connectors; maintain recommended bend radii for optical fibres. After connection, verify link status and performance via your switch or host adapter management tools.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid touching the optical endfaces. Use cleaning procedures for fibre connectors if required before insertion. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling forces, and exposure to liquids or extreme temperatures. Match the cable to QSFP ports and InfiniBand equipment that support 40 Gbps optical links to ensure compatibility.
