BlueOptics MC2207130-0A1-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m QSFP Male-Male

The BlueOptics MC2207130-0A1-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m QSFP Male-Male is a 2-metre high-speed direct attach cable designed for short-reach, high-throughput interconnects in racks and adjacent rack rows. Featuring QSFP male connectors on both ends and a passive twinax copper construction compatible with FDR/56G signalling, this cable supports InfiniBand, Ethernet, FCoE and Fibre Channel applications where low latency and reliable electrical transmission are required.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP-to-QSFP cable offers low power consumption, low latency and a simple passive design that reduces failure points. It is manufactured to MSA-compliant physical and electrical standards and uses high-quality components for consistent signal integrity and long service life. Compatibility testing with major hardware platforms ensures predictable behaviour when used with switches, routers and storage arrays that support passive QSFP DACs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand
• Switch-to-switch links and top-of-rack connections
• Storage system interconnects and SAN fabrics

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Data rate support: up to 56 Gbps (FDR class)
• Cable type: passive twinax copper (28 AWG)
• Applications supported: InfiniBand, Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel
• Compliance: MSA-compliant physical and electrical interfaces

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network device until the connector latches. Ensure that both devices support passive QSFP direct attach twinax cables and the same transmission protocol (for example, InfiniBand FDR). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; observe recommended bend radius for twinax cabling. No external power or active modules are required for passive operation.

Recommendations

Choose this 2 m QSFP DAC for short-distance interconnects where cost-effectiveness, low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Verify device compatibility with passive twinax QSFP cables and check port settings in your network equipment for optimal performance.
