BlueOptics XLDACBL2 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP Black

The BlueOptics XLDACBL2 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP Black is a 2-metre multimode fibre assembly with QSFP connectors designed for high-speed InfiniBand environments. It provides low-latency, high-throughput links for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The cable's black jacket and compact QSFP terminations allow neat routing in racks and dense network installations.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre cable delivers stable high-speed transmission with minimal signal loss and consistent performance over short-to-medium distances. QSFP connector compatibility ensures plug-and-play integration with compatible QSFP ports and reduces installation time. The 2 m length balances flexibility and tidy cable management in server rooms, while the fibre design minimizes electromagnetic interference and preserves signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring low latency
• Network racks and patch panels with QSFP-capable equipment
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity is important

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP on both ends
• Cable type: Fibre optic (multimode)
• Length: 2 metres
• Jacket colour: Black
• Designed application: InfiniBand high-speed data links

How to use

Connect each QSFP connector to the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre to prevent attenuation. Use cable management accessories such as ties or panels to keep the run tidy and to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results, verify QSFP port compatibility and link settings on switches and host adapters before deployment. Keep fibre endfaces clean and inspect them prior to insertion to reduce the risk of connection issues. In dense installations, label both ends of the cable for easier identification during maintenance.
