BlueOptics X66100-5-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP

The BlueOptics X66100-5-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m QSFP is a 5-metre high-speed interconnect with QSFP connectors on both ends, intended for short-range links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It is designed to provide reliable, low-latency data transmission and robust mechanical construction for repeated mating cycles and cable routing in rack installations.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers stable high-throughput connectivity with QSFP termination, engineered for consistent signal integrity and reduced error rates in dense networking environments. Its 5 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack and in-rack cabling while maintaining low insertion loss. The cable’s durable jacket and connector housings are built to withstand frequent handling and provide long service life suitable for professional deployments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and compute node interconnects
• Data centre top-of-rack and adjacent-rack links
• Switch-to-switch connections using QSFP ports
• Storage area networks and low-latency InfiniBand fabrics

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic designed for InfiniBand applications
• Connector type: QSFP on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Intended use: short-range, high-speed data transmission
• Physical characteristics: durable jacket and reinforced connector housings for repeated use

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X66100-5-BL by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your network device and inserting until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, keeping minimum bend radius recommendations in mind. Verify link LEDs and system diagnostics after connection to confirm link speed and signal integrity. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight to avoid damage to connectors or ports.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m QSFP fibre cable for short-range InfiniBand or QSFP-compatible links where low latency and high throughput are required. Keep the cable away from strong EMI sources and avoid tight bends; store coiled loosely and protect connector ends with dust caps when not in use.
