BlueOptics AA1404037-E6 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m QSFP Black

The BlueOptics AA1404037-E6 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m QSFP Black is a short, high-performance multimode optical link designed for use in dense networking environments. With QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors and a compact 0.5 m length, the cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre cable delivers stable signal transmission with minimal insertion loss and consistent optical performance across short distances. The QSFP male/male connector configuration supports high-density port layouts and facilitates quick, reliable mating with compatible QSFP interfaces. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in rack installations while maintaining the signal integrity expected for InfiniBand links.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring InfiniBand links
• Short-reach patching in top-of-rack and spine-leaf network architectures
• Environments where compact, low-profile cabling is needed to improve airflow

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable medium: multimode fibre suitable for InfiniBand use
• Color: black outer jacket
• Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency short-reach links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your devices and gently inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and verify link status using device indicators or management software. Route the 0.5 m cable so it does not place strain on the connectors and avoids sharp bends; this preserves optical performance and prolongs connector life.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use this 0.5 m QSFP InfiniBand cable for short-reach interconnects where low latency and compact cabling are priorities. Avoid exceeding bend radius limits, keep connectors free of dust, and inspect ports before insertion. When deploying in racks, position cables to maintain airflow and reduce mechanical stress on ports.
