BlueOptics CBL-0310-002-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP

The BlueOptics CBL-0310-002-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP-to-QSFP connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data centers and professional networking environments. It supports multi-mode optical transmission and is compliant with QSFP MSA form factor conventions. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-throughput links where reliable 40G-class performance is required over a 2 metre distance.

Advantages

This 2 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides a compact QSFP-to-QSFP connection with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end, reducing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Built for compatibility with systems that support the 40GBASE-SR4/InfiniBand QSFP form factor, it enables consistent 40 Gbit/s class data transfer over multimode fiber and simplifies installation in rack and switch environments. The active optical design lowers electromagnetic interference sensitivity and helps maintain signal integrity in dense cabling situations.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics CBL-0310-002-BO by inserting each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment such as switches, routers, or host adapters. Ensure that the equipment officially supports QSFP 40G modules or compatible AOC cables. Handle the AOC by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends in the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. After seating the connectors, verify link status on the connected devices and check link speed and diagnostics via system management interfaces.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach 40G connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight routing around sharp edges, keep the cable away from sources of excessive heat, and confirm device compatibility with QSFP AOC modules to ensure full performance.
