BlueOptics X66100-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP

The BlueOptics X66100-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP is a 2‑metre high-speed interconnect with QSFP connectors on both ends. Designed for data centre and networking environments, it provides a short-reach link for high-throughput, low-latency connections between switches, servers and storage devices that support QSFP InfiniBand interfaces.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP fibre cable offers stable data transmission and low latency appropriate for high-performance computing and clustered environments. The QSFP-to-QSFP form factor simplifies direct device-to-device connections and helps maintain signal integrity over the specified 2 metre distance. The cable is compatible with standard InfiniBand environments and intended to integrate cleanly into rack and adjacent-rack topologies.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP-equipped switches and nodes in data centres
• Linking servers to storage arrays in HPC and enterprise deployments
• Short-reach InfiniBand links inside racks or between adjacent racks
• Low-latency cluster interconnects and compute fabric connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Intended use: short-reach interconnects in data centre and networking equipment
• Designed for: low-latency, high-throughput connections between servers, switches and storage

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports that support the required InfiniBand protocol. With devices powered down or following hot-swap guidance from your hardware vendor, insert each QSFP connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port until it clicks or seats according to the port’s retention mechanism. Verify link negotiation and status indicators on the connected hardware and follow any firmware or driver recommendations from your system vendor for InfiniBand link configuration and speed settings.

Recommendations

Place the cable within the same rack or between adjacent racks to stay within the intended short-reach distance and avoid sharp bends or tight cable ties. Follow vendor guidelines for QSFP port handling and ESD precautions. For guaranteed compatibility, confirm that your hardware platform supports QSFP InfiniBand links at the required speed and protocol before deployment.
