BlueOptics CBL-401-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP

The BlueOptics CBL-401-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP is a short-length multimode link designed for high-throughput InfiniBand environments. With QSFP male-to-male connectors and a one-metre cable length, this fibre optic cable is intended to connect switches, host channel adapters and other QSFP-equipped devices where low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission is required. The cable construction supports reliable signal integrity and compact routing in data centre racks and network closets.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides a compact 1 m length that reduces excess slack and improves airflow in dense equipment racks. QSFP male connectors ensure compatibility with standard QSFP ports used in many high-performance networking devices. The fibre medium offers electrical isolation, immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable performance over short to medium distances, making it suitable for demanding, latency-sensitive networking tasks.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into a matching QSFP port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for optical fibre. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm expected data rates and latency after connection. For removal, release the connector latch and withdraw the plug straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP fibre optic cable for short, direct connections where minimal slack and optimal airflow are priorities. Store and handle the cable by the connector bodies, avoid bending near the ends, and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain signal quality.
