BlueOptics P8JVC InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP Black

The BlueOptics P8JVC InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP Black is a 3-metre optical cable with QSFP-compatible connectors designed for high-speed data transfer in server rooms, storage systems and high-performance networking environments. The cable features male-to-male QSFP terminations and a compact black jacket that facilitates neat routing in racks and patch panels while supporting low-latency links between switches, adapters and converged devices.

Advantages

This 3 m fibre optic cable provides stable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The QSFP terminations allow straightforward plug-and-play installation with compatible QSFP ports, while the durable outer sheath offers mechanical protection and flexibility for tight cabling runs. The product is suited to infrastructure where consistent high bandwidth and minimal packet loss are required.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand or QSFP-enabled switches and host adapters
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Data centre patching and top-of-rack connectivity
• Low-latency trading platforms and scientific computing networks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Fibre optic, single-mode/multi-mode compatibility depends on system transceivers
• Connector type: QSFP male-to-male
• Length: 3 metres
• Outer jacket colour: Black
• Designed use: High-speed InfiniBand and QSFP data links

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to matching QSFP ports on networking equipment such as switches, host channel adapters or transceivers. Ensure devices are powered down or port link negotiation is handled according to your equipment’s hot-plug guidelines, then insert the connectors until they latch securely. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; leave service loops where appropriate for future reconfiguration.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility of transceivers and link modules in your infrastructure before deployment. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by equipment vendors, avoid exposure to sharp edges, and inspect connectors for contamination prior to insertion to preserve signal quality and prolong service life.
