InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MC2207130-002 2 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics MC2207130-002 is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP male connectors on both ends, engineered for high-throughput interconnects in server rooms and data centres. The cable supports reliable high-speed data transmission between QSFP-enabled switches, routers, host adapters and storage systems, and its 2-metre length balances reach and signal integrity for typical rack-to-rack and within-rack connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP male/male cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for demanding networking environments. Its construction reduces signal loss over the 2 m span while ensuring mechanical stability at QSFP ports. The standardized QSFP interfaces on both ends deliver broad compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP transceivers or direct-attach QSFP connections, simplifying installation and minimizing the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centres
• Interconnects between servers and host bus adapters for storage or compute clusters
• Rack-to-rack and within-rack cabling where a 2 m reach is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic direct-attach QSFP cable
• Connector configuration: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: blue
• Designed for: high-speed data transmission and low-latency interconnects

How to use

Before installation, verify that both devices support QSFP direct-attach connections and that the intended QSFP ports are enabled. Handle the blue cable by the connector housings; avoid bending the cable sharply near the ends to maintain signal quality. Insert each QSFP male connector firmly into the corresponding QSFP port until the latch engages. For removal, press the connector latch (if present) and withdraw straight out to avoid stressing the port. Use the 2 m length to route between adjacent racks or within a rack while maintaining proper bend radius and cable management practices.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled data-centre environments, maintain proper airflow around networking equipment, and avoid tight bends or compressive loads on the cable. For best results, match the cable to QSFP-compatible devices and check device documentation for supported link speeds and transceiver modes.
