BlueOptics 40GB-F10-QSFP-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10 m Male-Male

The BlueOptics 40GB-F10-QSFP-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10 m Male-Male is a high-speed multimode fibre connection designed for server rooms, data centers and high-performance network infrastructures. With QSFP terminations and a 10-metre length, this cable supports reliable 40 Gbps class links for short- to medium-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet connections. The male-to-male configuration ensures straightforward connection between compatible QSFP ports on switches, host channel adapters and other networking equipment.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer suitable for clustered computing and storage networks. Its QSFP connectors ensure secure mechanical mating and standardized signal compatibility, while the 10 m length offers flexibility in rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment cabling. The multimode fibre design reduces modal dispersion over typical data center distances and helps maintain signal integrity for consistent throughput.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and servers equipped with QSFP ports
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage area networks (SAN) and backup appliance connectivity
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch cabling in data centers
• Short- to medium-reach 40 Gbps Ethernet and InfiniBand links

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (male-to-male)
• Nominal data rate: 40 Gbps class link support
• Length: 10 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and 40 Gbps Ethernet interconnects
• Typical reach: short- to medium-reach data center distances

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered down or that hot-pluggable QSFP ports support live insertion. Align the QSFP connector keying with the port and insert firmly until the connector seats. Verify link status on both endpoints through management interfaces or LED indicators. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable management accessories as needed. If moving or reconfiguring equipment, unplug by depressing the connector latch and pulling straight out to avoid damaging the transceivers or ports.

Recommendations

Use this cable within recommended bend radius specifications and keep fibre endfaces clean before mating. For best performance in data center environments, pair with compatible QSFP-capable switches and adapters, monitor link integrity after installation, and replace if physical damage or sustained errors are observed.
