InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics AA1404028-3M-BO 3m QSFP Male

The BlueOptics AA1404028-3M-BO 3m QSFP Male is a 3‑meter InfiniBand / fibre optic cable designed for high‑speed, short‑reach interconnects in data centres and networking racks. It features QSFP male connectors on both ends to support multi‑lane, high‑bandwidth links between switches, host adapters and storage systems. The cable combines low latency and stable optical transmission to maintain reliable throughput for demanding applications.

Advantages

This QSFP male fibre optic cable delivers consistent high data rates with low signal loss over the 3 m length, reducing the need for active transceivers in short‑reach links. Its factory‑polished connector interfaces ensure repeatable mating performance and minimal insertion loss. The cable’s construction is suitable for dense cabling environments, providing flexible routing and stable optical performance that supports InfiniBand and other compatible high‑speed protocols.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP‑equipped switches and routers within racks
• Server to host adapter connections in data centre topologies
• High‑performance computing clusters using InfiniBand fabric
• Storage arrays and SAN links requiring short‑reach optical connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic, compatible with InfiniBand multi‑lane QSFP applications
• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Intended use: short‑reach, high‑bandwidth interconnects in data centre environments
• Performance: engineered for low insertion loss and stable optical transmission suitable for high throughput
• Physical: flexible jacket for rack routing and dense cable management

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port until the connector latches. Verify port compatibility and link settings in connected devices before powering critical systems. For initial setup, confirm link status and negotiated speed on both endpoints. Route the cable through rack channels or cable managers to avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if optical performance degrades.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing and avoid touching the optical endfaces. Use dust caps when ports are unused and perform scheduled cleaning of connector endfaces. For optimal performance in dense installations, maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to reduce strain on connectors. Check device documentation for supported QSFP modes and compatible optical standards before deployment.
