InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-0101 1 m Black

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-0101 is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission. Equipped with QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable supports 40G interconnects and is intended for short-reach links in data centres, switches and high-performance computing environments. Its compact 1 metre length helps maintain tidy cable management while minimising signal loss over short distances.

Advantages

This cable provides a stable 40 Gbit/s interconnect using QSFP interfaces, delivering low latency and high bandwidth suitable for clustered servers and storage arrays. The single-metre length reduces excess slack and simplifies routing in racks and patch panels. Constructed for optical performance, the cable offers consistent transmission characteristics and compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP optical modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between network switches and routers
• Interconnects in data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row deployments
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-server links
• Storage area network (SAN) links requiring 40 Gbit/s bandwidth

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP on both ends
• Data rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP optical interfaces and 40 Gbit/s links before installation. Route the cable through the rack or cable management channel to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Insert the QSFP connectors fully into the corresponding ports until they latch, verifying the link status on connected devices. For removal, release the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule or port.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force on the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. Use the 1 m length for short links close to ports to reduce signal attenuation and keep spare lengths secured to prevent airflow obstruction in racks.
