CBO InfiniBand Cable AA1404029-E6-BL 1 m QSFP, blue jacket, black QSFP connectors

CBO InfiniBand Cable AA1404029-E6-BL is a 1 m QSFP interconnect designed for high-speed data links in storage, computing and networking environments. Delivered with a blue jacket and black QSFP connectors, this cable provides a short-length connection for switches, adapters and servers that use QSFP interfaces. It is intended for rack and datacenter cabling where a reliable, standardized InfiniBand link is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 1 metre length that reduces signal attenuation and conserves rack space while maintaining high data throughput over InfiniBand QSFP interfaces. The blue outer jacket improves visual identification in dense cabling runs, and the QSFP connectors with robust housings ensure secure mating and consistent contact. The product is compatible with common QSFP ports and supports the short-reach connections typically needed between adjacent rack units or within server enclosures.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between QSFP-equipped switches and adapters
• Rack and datacenter patching where 1 m cable length is required
• Server-to-switch or server-to-adapter high-speed links in storage and HPC systems
• Environments requiring color-coded cabling for easy identification

Key specifications

• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: QSFP on both ends
• Jacket colour: blue
• Connector colour: black
• Intended use: InfiniBand high-speed data interconnect
• Application environment: rack, datacenter, server rooms

How to use

Verify that both devices have compatible QSFP ports and that the port firmware supports the required InfiniBand speed and protocol. Orient the QSFP connector to match the port keying and gently insert until the connector latches. For removal, depress the latch mechanism (if present) and pull the connector straight out to avoid damage. Use the 1 m length for short links inside racks or between adjacent equipment to minimize excess cable routing and preserve airflow.

Recommendations

Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks; maintain bend radii consistent with QSFP cable guidelines. Label both ends when used in dense installations and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable to prevent deformation of the jacket or connector housing.
