BlueOptics QSFP-CABLE-3M-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-CABLE-3M-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3m Male/Male is a 3-meter QSFP to QSFP cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data center and HPC environments. It provides a direct connection between switches, routers and servers, supporting InfiniBand and other high-throughput protocols over a short rack or adjacent-rack distance. The cable is intended for reliable, low-latency data transfer where QSFP connectivity is required.

Advantages

This 3 m QSFP cable offers a straightforward plug-and-play connection with QSFP connectors on both ends, minimizing signal conversion and reducing latency. It is engineered to meet MSA-compliant QSFP interface requirements for stable electrical and optical characteristics and to ensure interoperability with compatible hardware platforms. The cable's form factor and length make it suitable for neat rack installations and short point-to-point links without additional transceivers.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-CABLE-3M-BL by inserting each QSFP connector into the appropriate QSFP port on your network devices. Ensure both devices support passive QSFP direct-attach connections and the intended protocol (for example, InfiniBand or 40GBase). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain proper bend radius as specified by equipment vendors. After physical installation, verify link status and negotiated speed via your devices' management interface.

Recommendations

Use this QSFP cable for short-distance interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP passive direct-attach cables and check firmware or driver requirements for full protocol support. For longer distances or fiber-based links, choose appropriately rated optical modules and fiber cables.
