InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MC2206130-003 3 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics MC2206130-003 is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. The cable supports reliable, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage arrays, making it suitable for data center topologies and high-performance computing clusters. Its QSFP-to-QSFP configuration provides straightforward connectivity for equipment that accepts Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable interfaces.

Advantages

This 3 m QSFP male/male fibre optic cable delivers stable high-bandwidth performance and is built for consistent signal integrity across short to medium interconnect distances. The cable offers straightforward plug-and-play installation, minimal signal loss, and compatibility with QSFP ports commonly used in InfiniBand and fibre optic network equipment. Its construction is intended to reduce interference and maintain low latency for demanding applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage links in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Network equipment testing and temporary rack connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male on both ends
• Length: 3 metres
• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Intended use: short- to medium-range high-speed links
• Typical characteristics: low latency, high bandwidth transmission

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP male connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your network devices and insert until it seats securely. Ensure that both devices are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by your equipment before connecting. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces after connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the specified minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 3 m QSFP cable for direct device-to-device links within racks or between adjacent racks. Keep the cable free from excessive bending, kinking, and physical damage. Confirm compatibility with your QSFP ports and the required InfiniBand or optical signaling standards before deployment. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and clean with approved fibre optic cleaning tools when necessary.
