BlueOptics 40GB-F02-QSFP-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2 m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics 40GB-F02-QSFP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m high-speed connection solution designed for low-latency data transmission in networking environments. With QSFP male connectors on both ends, this cable supports InfiniBand links between servers, switches and other compatible devices. The single cable length of 2 metres provides a compact, direct connection appropriate for rack-mounted equipment and short inter-rack runs in data centre racks.

Advantages

This BlueOptics fibre optic cable offers stable signal transmission and consistent throughput suited to InfiniBand deployments. The QSFP male terminations ensure a secure fit with QSFP interfaces and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Its 2 m length balances flexibility and cable management in server rooms. The design focuses on low insertion loss and minimal latency to maintain high-performance data paths between critical devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to switches using InfiniBand QSFP interfaces
• High-speed interconnects inside data centre racks and short cabling runs
• Low-latency compute clusters and storage networks
• Upgrading or replacing existing short-range fibre links

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand fibre optic cable
• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Intended use: short-range data centre interconnects
• Performance focus: high throughput, low latency

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected support QSFP interfaces and are powered off or set to an appropriate maintenance state before installation if required by your site procedures. Align each QSFP male connector with the corresponding port and insert until the connector seats securely. Use proper cable routing and strain relief to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors. After installation, verify link status on connected devices and confirm expected data rates and link parameters through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable carefully to avoid kinks and excessive bending; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For best performance in data centre environments, label both ends for easy identification and use appropriate cable management trays to maintain airflow and accessibility. Periodically inspect connectors for contamination and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools if necessary.
