InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics AA1404028-1M-BO 1m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics AA1404028-1M-BO is a 1 meter InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP male connectors designed for high-speed data transfer in data center and networking environments. This single-mode/OM (refer to product family specifications) fibre cable aims to deliver stable, low-latency connections between switches, servers and storage systems where QSFP interfaces are used. The 1 m length supports tidy rack cabling and short interconnects typical in top-of-rack and end-of-row deployments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP male cable provides reliable high-bandwidth transmission suitable for InfiniBand and fibre optic networks. Its compact 1 m length reduces cable clutter and helps maintain clear airflow in densely populated racks. Designed for OEM compatibility, it supports standard QSFP form-factor interfaces and is intended to meet data center performance expectations for short-reach optical interconnects.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• Connecting servers and storage arrays using QSFP ports
• Short-reach optical links in top-of-rack or end-of-row cabling
• High-throughput computing clusters using InfiniBand

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Media type: fibre optic suitable for InfiniBand and high-speed data links
• Application: short-reach data centre interconnects and server-to-switch links
• Color: blue (visible jacket color for easy identification)

How to use

Inspect both QSFP connector ends and the optical interfaces for dust or damage before insertion. With devices powered down or ports administratively disabled where recommended, align and insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats securely. Enable or power the network equipment as required and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For removal, follow vendor guidance for QSFP extraction to avoid damaging the port or connector.

Recommendations

Store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and prevent excessive tension; route cables to minimize strain and maintain airflow in racks. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and link verification when deploying in live systems.
