BlueOptics InfiniBand / fibre optic cable QSFP56–QSFP56, 5 m, Aqua colour

BlueOptics InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with QSFP56 connectors on both ends, 5 m length and aqua colour. Designed for high-speed data links in data centres and HPC clusters, this multimode QSFP56–QSFP56 cable provides a direct optical connection between compatible QSFP56 ports, enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth links for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch installations.

Advantages

The cable combines QSFP56 connectors with a 5 m multimode optical assembly to support short-reach high-density interconnects. Its aqua-coloured jacket simplifies identification in structured cabling environments. Lightweight construction and standardized QSFP56 termination allow easy installation and compatibility with existing hardware that accepts QSFP56 duplex optical links.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect QSFP56 ports on both devices to ensure they are clean and free of dust. Align each QSFP56 connector with the corresponding port and insert gently until a secure fit is achieved. Use appropriate cable management to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Confirm link status on connected equipment and monitor for any alarms or errors after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; avoid exposing endfaces to dust or contaminants. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and follow manufacturer guidance for cleaning fibre endfaces. For reliable performance, keep cable bend radius within specifications and route the cable to prevent physical strain on connectors.
