BlueOptics QTAPCABLE1M InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics QTAPCABLE1M InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP Male/Male is a short-range optical link designed for high-speed interconnects in data center and enterprise networking environments. With QSFP connectors on both ends and a 1 metre cable length, it supports low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission typical for InfiniBand deployments. The cable is intended for reliable signal integrity and minimal insertion loss in rack-to-rack or within-rack connections.

Advantages

This 1 m QSFP-to-QSFP fibre cable provides compact, direct optical connectivity without the need for transceivers, reducing installation complexity and heat load in switch or server environments. The fibre construction offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable performance over time. Its short length minimises cable clutter in dense racks while maintaining the performance required for InfiniBand fabrics.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both QSFP ports on connected devices support the same InfiniBand optical profile and that system firmware recognises direct optical QSFP links. Align and insert the QSFP connectors into the appropriate QSFP cages until the latch engages; avoid excessive force. Route the 1 m cable to prevent tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the fibre type. After connection, verify link status and perform any required host or switch configuration for InfiniBand fabrics.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by holding the connector bodies rather than the fibre itself. Avoid sharp bends and exposure to contaminants on connector end-faces; inspect and clean connectors as needed before mating. Use this 1 m QSFP fibre cable for short-range optical links inside racks or between neighbouring racks to optimise space and cooling.
