CBO InfiniBand QSFP Cable QSFP-Cable-5M-BL — 5 m black

The CBO InfiniBand QSFP Cable QSFP-Cable-5M-BL is a 5-metre black high-speed interconnect cable designed for QSFP ports in InfiniBand networks. It provides a fixed-length direct copper connection between compatible QSFP-enabled switches, adapters and servers, enabling low-latency, high-throughput links suitable for data centers and high-performance computing clusters where a 5 m reach is required.

Advantages

This QSFP cable delivers reliable signal transmission with a compact, single-cable solution that minimizes rack clutter compared with multiple shorter runs. Its fixed 5 m length simplifies planning and ensures consistent latency and performance across links. The black jacket offers discreet cabling in standard rack environments, and the QSFP form factor supports high aggregate bandwidth typical for InfiniBand interconnects.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP module end into the matching QSFP port on your switches, adapters or servers until the connector latches. Confirm that the connected ports are QSFP-compatible and configured for the intended InfiniBand link speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable within the rack to prevent strain on connectors. After physical installation, verify link status and performance using your network management tools.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m cable for direct short-reach links where consistent latency and neat rack cabling are priorities. Avoid repeated flexing and exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. Verify compatibility with QSFP-enabled hardware and firmware to ensure full performance.
