CBO InfiniBand cable QTAPCABLE-1M-BL — 1 m QSFP, Blue optics, black jacket

CBO InfiniBand cable QTAPCABLE-1M-BL is a 1-metre QSFP fiber cable engineered for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections between servers, switches and storage equipment. The cable features a QSFP interface and blue optical components housed in a black outer jacket, offering a compact link option for dense rack environments and clustered compute nodes. It is intended for InfiniBand environments that require low-latency, high-throughput interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks.

Advantages

The cable combines a QSFP connector design with factory-assembled optical terminations to ensure consistent signal quality and predictable link performance. Its 1 m length reduces excess cabling and improves airflow in tight rack spaces, while the contrasting blue optics make connector orientation and visual identification straightforward during deployment and maintenance. The black outer jacket provides mechanical protection and a professional appearance suitable for data center installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand connections between servers and switches
• Interconnects in cluster computing and HPC racks
• High-throughput links for storage arrays and fabric switches
• Dense cabling runs where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Optical component color: blue
• Outer jacket color: black
• Application: short-reach data center interconnects, low-latency links

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP optical connections and match InfiniBand link parameters before installation. Route the 1 m cable between the two compatible QSFP ports, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile strain. Insert connectors firmly until they latch, and verify link status on the networking equipment. For replacement or maintenance, power down the affected port if required by your site procedures, disconnect the cable by releasing the latch, and store or dispose of the cable following facility policies.
