BlueOptics 40GB-F50-QSFP-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 50m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics 40GB-F50-QSFP-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 50 metre multimode link with QSFP male terminations designed for high-throughput networking environments. Built for data centre and enterprise interconnects, this cable supports 40 Gbps-class InfiniBand signalling and offers a stable physical layer connection for switches, adapters and QSFP-enabled transceivers. The cable's length and optical construction make it suitable for rack-to-rack and aisle-to-aisle connections where low latency and consistent bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers consistent 40 Gbps data transmission over a 50 m span while maintaining signal integrity through low insertion loss connectors and industry-standard multimode fibre. The QSFP male terminations ensure compatibility with a range of QSFP ports and QSFP transceivers, enabling straightforward integration into existing InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet infrastructures. The cable's physical design facilitates easy routing within racks and cable management systems and helps reduce electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Interconnects between switches, routers and host adapters
• Aisle or cabinet interlinks requiring 50 m reach

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 50 metres
• Supported protocol class: 40 Gbps InfiniBand-compatible signalling
• Fibre type: multimode optical fibre
• Suitable environment: data centre and enterprise networking

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP male connectors with the corresponding QSFP ports on networking equipment and gently seating each connector until it clicks or locks according to the port design. Route the cable through rack cable management to avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Verify link status on connected devices and, if necessary, test optical loss and throughput with appropriate diagnostic tools before placing the connection into production.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the optical fibre. Maintain bend radii and secure the cable to cable management points to preserve performance. Use in conjunction with QSFP-compliant transceivers and ports for guaranteed compatibility and monitor link performance after installation.
