BlueOptics MC2206128-005 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP

The BlueOptics MC2206128-005 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP is a pre-terminated multimode link designed for high-throughput connections between network devices. With QSFP-style male connectors on both ends and a 5 metre length, the cable supports short-range, high-speed data transmission suitable for rack-to-rack and in-rack uplinks in data centres and enterprise networks. The construction and connector type are intended to provide low insertion loss and dependable signal integrity for InfiniBand environments.

Advantages

This 5 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers plug-and-play QSFP connectivity that simplifies installation and reduces downtime. The male-to-male design ensures direct mating with QSFP ports on switches, adapters and host channel adapters without additional transceivers. With engineered fibre performance and connector durability, the cable supports consistent throughput and reduced error rates for demanding networking tasks.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-bandwidth links in data centres
• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and servers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand
• Rack-to-rack and in-rack uplink connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand multimode fibre optic cable
• Connector style: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 5 metres
• Intended range: short-reach data centre links
• Design focus: low insertion loss and stable signal integrity

How to use

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid excessive bending of the fibre body when routing through racks or trays. Insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct alignment of the latch. Verify link status on connected devices and monitor for proper signal and throughput. When removing the cable, press the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the interface.

Recommendations

Install the cable in environments where short-reach, high-bandwidth links are required. Maintain bend radii within manufacturer guidelines, avoid tight kinks, and keep connectors clean and capped when not in use to preserve performance and reduce the risk of signal loss.
