BlueOptics 470-AAVH InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP Black

The BlueOptics 470-AAVH InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP Black is a 5-metre multimode fibre cable with QSFP connectors on both ends. It is intended for high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks where low-latency, high-throughput links are required. The cable is suitable for connecting servers, switches and network adapters that use InfiniBand QSFP interfaces, offering a compact black jacket and male-to-male QSFP connector configuration for direct device-to-device links.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides reliable high-bandwidth data transmission over a 5 m reach while maintaining signal integrity and low insertion loss. The QSFP-to-QSFP connector pairing supports compact, high-density installations and helps reduce cable management complexity. The cable’s construction and connector fit are designed to ensure stable mechanical connection and consistent electrical/optical performance in rack-mounted and open-frame environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to switches or host channel adapters in data centers
• High-throughput computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Short-reach links in enterprise network racks and blade server enclosures
• Replacing or extending existing QSFP InfiniBand links within a 5 m distance

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: black
• Optimised for: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Suitable environment: data centre and enterprise networking

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP InfiniBand interfaces before installation. Route the 5 m fibre cable keeping bends above the minimum bend radius to avoid signal degradation. Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding port until the latch engages; verify secure seating and that link indicators on connected equipment show an active connection. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fibre terminations.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre cable by the connector housings and avoid touching the ferrule ends. Store and route the cable to prevent tight bends and kinks, and keep connector end caps on when not in use to protect optical surfaces. For critical installations, perform link verification and, if available, use diagnostic tools to confirm expected throughput and error rates.
