BlueOptics BL072001W2M26-BL InfiniBand HDR QSFP56 Direct Attach Cable 2 m Black

The BlueOptics BL072001W2M26-BL is a high-performance InfiniBand HDR Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for demanding data center and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. With a length of 2 meters and dual QSFP56 connectors, this passive copper cable delivers 200 Gbps data transfer rates, supporting both InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet (200GbE) standards. Its robust construction ensures reliable, low-latency connectivity for server, storage, and switch interconnects.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for high-speed networking. The passive DAC design consumes no power, reducing overall system heat and energy costs. It provides a secure, fixed connection with excellent signal integrity over short distances, ideal for top-of-rack or intra-rack cabling. The black color and durable copper construction ensure longevity and easy identification in dense cable runs.
