BlueOptics X08YJ-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP

The BlueOptics X08YJ-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m QSFP is a 1-meter interconnect designed for short-distance, high-throughput links in data centers and networking environments. Fitted with QSFP connectors at both ends, it supports high-speed data transfer with low signal loss and is intended for use where reliable, low-latency optical connections are required. The cable is compatible with systems that accept QSFP-based InfiniBand or 40G interconnects and is suitable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections where a 1 m fibre optic link is appropriate.

Advantages

The BlueOptics X08YJ-BL offers stable optical performance with minimal attenuation across a short 1 m span, ensuring consistent bandwidth for InfiniBand and 40G applications. Its QSFP-to-QSFP termination simplifies installation and replacement in standard hardware platforms. The construction adheres to common industry mechanical and optical tolerances to provide predictable behavior in mixed-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance interconnects between switches and routers within a rack or adjacent racks
• High-throughput InfiniBand links in compute clusters and storage networks
• 40G Ethernet connections and low-latency networking applications

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP on both ends
• Length: 1 meter
• Media: fibre optic for optical signal transmission
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 40G Ethernet-compatible applications
• Designed for short-reach, high-speed data transfer with low latency

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the QSFP ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are aligned and fully seated. Verify that connected devices are configured for the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 40G Ethernet) and that port settings match the cable capabilities. After physical installation, check link status indicators on the devices and run appropriate diagnostics or throughput tests to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics X08YJ-BL for short, high-speed optical links where a 1 m QSFP cable fits the rack layout. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation, and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain optimal optical performance.
