BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3m QSFP Male/Male 02310MUH

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3m QSFP Male/Male 02310MUH is a 3-metre duplex fibre connection with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for high-speed data transmission in server rooms, switches and storage systems. The cable provides a low-latency optical link suitable for InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth environments, offering a compact male-to-male QSFP interface that simplifies direct device-to-device connections.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers a stable optical signal over a short to medium rack distance, minimizing electromagnetic interference and signal loss compared with copper alternatives. The QSFP male-to-male configuration supports dense port layouts and modern high-speed network equipment, while the 3 m length balances reach and rack management. The optic construction ensures consistent throughput for data centre traffic, clustered computing and SAN interconnects.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between QSFP-enabled switches, routers and network adapters
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand links
• Storage area network (SAN) interlinks and server-to-switch connections
• Short-reach optical runs within rack and cabinet environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 3 metres
• Transmission medium: Fibre optic (InfiniBand-compatible)
• Optimised for: high-bandwidth, low-latency links
• Typical use: data centre and rack interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP interfaces and are powered down or ready for hot-plug insertion according to manufacturer guidance. Align each QSFP connector with the device port and insert the cable straight until it seats securely; follow any latch or retention mechanism specific to your equipment. After connection, verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators and perform any required link configuration or negotiation procedures for InfiniBand or Ethernet over QSFP.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the fibre cable; maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor. Use cable management in racks to prevent strain on QSFP connectors and inspect connectors for dust before insertion to preserve signal quality.
